Also consider contacting TELL http://therapyabuse.org/contact_us.htm
They have been of tremendous help to me for support while trying to get away from my nutso ex-therapist and in taking action against her (my ex-t). They may be able to help you find a new therapist. Your "therapist" is unstable. NONE OF THIS IS YOUR FAULT. |

Thank you all for the advice and for listening. I really appreciate it and I'm really sorry that I bothered all of you with this stuff.

No need to apologize for bothering us, because you weren't--listening and support is what this forum is for!

So...I have an appointment for a session with him on Thursday. I told him that if he was terminating me, I wanted it to be in person. He responded that he knows he started this but that I always take things to the extreme and when I asked him what that meant, he said the termination statement.
When it wasn't a possibility, I wanted to meet with him more than anything. Now that it is... I'm scared. I'm scared that he's going to cancel last minute again. I'm scared that if I tell him that he can't do this stuff to me and still be my t, he'll get mad and leave instead of apologizing and trying to talk me out of leaving. I'm scared that he's going to dump me before I have a chance to say anything and I'm going to cry in front of him. It took me years to be OK with doing that and now it's a nightmare for me again. I'm scared that I'm not even worth a t who treats me like he has been recently, let alone a t who treated me nicely like he did in the past. I'm really scared - feel sick to my stomach and start shaking every time I think about Thursday.

Do you think your T followed ethical codes in treating you ( APA)? I cant get the image of him meeting at the bookstore , and then sitting with you in the car out of mind. The things that scare you in the above list give him so much power.
Do you still want him to be your T Do you feel he is professional and appropriate Does he uphold his vow to DO NO HARM bc I am worried you might be harmed I hope this turns out okay on Thursday!

I do but I don't think I should...
I don't know. Sometimes yes, but this recent episode...not really. I hate to say it because he really did do so many good things for me in the past but...not really. I don't know if he thinks he either took that vow or did me any harm. I don't know if it matters that he did - everyone else I care about seems to do me harm without it being a problem so why should he be different?

He should be the one person to be different, and put your best interests first. I hope he sees you Thursday,and doesn't cancel.
