Have any of u been affected by abusive treatment? whether it be long-term residential facilities, a T in a private practice, on a psychiatric unit or hospital?

How has the abuse related to ur experiences of therapy now? are U able recognize it, when it does, affect your treatment negatively??

I’ve had multiple occurrences of what I would call “incompetent” treatment, which was very demoralizing, and one occasion when I felt shamed and humiliated in group therapy – which, using my characteristic pattern I took on myself even though my logic was beginning to be able to see that it was him. Still, I was very ill as well as stressed by family events, so I felt I needed therapy and did not feel capable of looking for and finding alternative therapy that might work. I’d been to therapy a lot already which hadn’t worked. I did go to a consultant and, after another round of intensive outpatient hospitalization (IMHO meltdown due to shaming in group, which increased stress of family events, which increased shame), went back to the group. I started seeing a specialist therapist recommended by the consultant and several months later I told the guy off when he was shaming another client (I thought) for similar issues and left.
