[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 609104, member: 13542"] Geez Witz, this therapist certainly didn't create an environment which was safe and comforting for you. I agree with Cedar and I'm really sorry that was your experience. I think it was courageous of you to start the therapy and courageous of you to end it. Only you know what is needed for your well being. As you know I've had LOTS of therapy and I feel fortunate in that almost every one of them was a good fit and helped me a lot. But there are bad ones out there. I think the most healing part (for me) is that someone is a non judgmental witness for our pain and can create a safe place for us to express it in and in that expression, we can heal. Your therapist did not create that space for you............that's a shame. Your own commitment to your own healing carries a lot of weight I believe and I think when we are ready, we find our own ways to let that pain go.............like your crying incident yesterday.............after the note from your Dad and the therapist's responses.............it seemed like you reached that critical mass and then let go............man, I've done that a lot.............my friend calls that "deep let go." My heart goes out to you Witz, I wish this had turned out differently. I understand. Sending you hugs and wishes for a peaceful heart......... [/QUOTE]
