[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 496455, member: 1233"] Does your gut tell you that you can trust her? I would probably take the chance and send her a short note. No great details, just that things have come to pass recently that you need help with and you don't think you can handle starting at the beginning of everything with someone new. Ask is she is willing to tell you if she was on your side back then. If she is, would she be willing and able to see you at least for long enough to get a start and deal with the shock of such an enormous blow. If she is unwilling/unable, who would she suggest that you see - someone who is able to handle this type of incredibly traumatic abuse and is mature enough to see the "pillars" of their local profession for the monsters they are deep down. I wouldn't use monsters and am sure someone here would have a more delicate way to state the problem, the situation and what you need right now. It seems like you feel you may be able to trust her, and it sure would be a HUGE help to not have to tell someone new about the whole huge ugly mess and the deplorable, unprofessional way their peers acted during those years. As much as psychology/psychiatry attracts very disturbed people who are damaged and/or looking for power, it also attracts people who genuinely, deeply care and are willing to help. If you don't know of someone else you feel you will be able to work with, this seems like a reasonable chance. At least from this point of view. You have amazing instincts, Witz. In this situation the only thing you can do is trust them. If you go to an appointment and it feels really wrong, or like your trust is misplaced, you can go elsewhere. If you need to go elsewhere, ask who she would recommend. At least you iwll then have a name to stay away from. If you cannot find someone before you need a medication refill, your family doctor will probably be willing to write the rx for a couple of months if you are looking for someone else. (((((gentle hugs))))) I really wish you lived close to me because I could recommend someone I know you can trust, someone who would never abuse that trust. If you need to vent via pm, I am here. I can send my email and/or phone number if you want to go off board or talk on the phone. I know you have close friends, but sometimes it is easier with someone you wont' run into at the grocery store. been there done that. [/QUOTE]
