hello... a few years ago i had therapy but from the day i started i was just completely mortified and devastated by everything my therapist said to me, the whole experience was a trauma and i couldn't cope with it anymore so the one day i rang him up and agreed with him to end therapy. but after it ended i continued to feel traumatized and devastated i became exhausted about everyday and couldn't see the point in anything anymore iv lost all my interests and i feel my life has been ruined the whole experience terrified me and im just left lost in my own darkness

Hi believer,

I can relate to what you're saying about feeling very traumatized when first seeing a T. It sounds like, if you can, you may want to see about trusting another T if even to work through the trauma of your original T. It could have been his approach... but, as I'm on a quest for a new T myself I know how impossible that feels to do. I think your experience is normal - it's what you felt and feel. Did your T give any feedback at all on to why you might feel how you do? I know when I started therapy, I had two therapists... one was chatty and gave feedback constantly (this is the one I'm replacing) and the other let me ramble and gave very little feedback about me as we got comfortable with eachother first... I think that's very important before giving a client and hard/fast feedback.

I'm really sorry about your experience. Frowner
i dont think i ever i will ever see another t again, from my previous experience overcoming what happened with him has honestly been the hardest thing i have ever been thru, iv had so many flashbacks and nightmares, i had developed two lifelong health conditions which i believe has been down to the stress of the experience, i think the only way for me to go now is the road that does not involve help off another T, Afterall im sure he wont have given me a second thought, he is just a person, and so am i and i regret ever trusting him
