[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 660058, member: 1550"] Cedar, in all my years of therapy, and I started at 23, I have never had such a horrible experience as you. I had a few jerks, but I just dumped them. On the other hand, my attitude was different. I was eager to get help and a compliant patient and it was not scary to me to tell this stuff to a therapist. I figured they heard anything I had to say and much worse so I wasn't afraid to go. I also felt safe because of the illegality of a therapist talking about us in the general population. Now if any of my therapists had done what yours did, I would probably have been afraid of therapy too, but your therapist is human, like everyone else. He sounds like a sick predator. They do exist. My close friend took her son to see a psychologist (he had the psychology degree PhD) and his main interest were the mothers who brought their kids and he had been in trouble once for smoozing with one of the moms. Well, my friend was a beautiful woman and, at the time, in her 30's, and he wanted her too and she was very naive. He was in her life, she now feels in a very unhealthy way, for ten years. He tried the same thing with me because I consulted him about Bart, but I stopped going. My friend honestly thought he was trying to help her...we laugh about it now. You can't just trust somebody due to a title. I've learned to pick and choose and have had a great deal of success in therapy, but quickly learned...women only. Not that all women are nice, but I've had much better luck with females. Just my .01 ;) [/QUOTE]
