Where can an individual molested when young by a therapist turn for help ?
How can trust be reestablished with another individual, let alone the system? Where does someone go for therapy to get over bad therapy? Tom S. in Tn. |

tom, i'm so incredibly sorry this happened to you. i can understand your not feeling comfortable with trusting others. your experience was such a violation. i don't know if one is available but i'd research in your area for a therapist that specializes in helping ppl violated like you have been. you can call their office to inquire too or research them on the web. also psych central has an option for "finding a therapist". at the top of the page is "FIND HELP". this may be helpful for you. i'm sure others may have helpful suggestions here and respond to your thread too.
the most important action i believe is to engage with another therapist to help you with what's happened. you can't undo this experience by yourself. hope you will keep us posted. we do care about you.

Hi Tom ~ I too was molested by a therapist. I was going thru a very critical time and was close to going over the edge ~ and this "animal" knew it. Thankfully, I got away before things got too far along, but it did have an awful effect on me.
I too was afraid to trust another therapist ~ or anyone for that matter -- but at the same time I was afraid NOT to trust someone because I was coming apart at the seams. I went to my medical doctor and told him I needed mental help!! He saw I was in bad shape and referred me to a well-known psychiatrist in my area -- who promptly put me in the hospital. I was so grateful for that because I was SAFE. I never told anyone about the attack because I was afraid it would get back to my husband ~ who would promptly KILL the idiot. My hospital stay was the best thing I could have done for myself. I left there a renewed person, and much healthier. Please speak with your doctor -- he can refer you to someone ~ or call a crisis hot line for a referral. But please get help soon. And know that you are NOT alone!!! God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
