When people are ostracized from family, it is because the family did not like their choices.

[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 656330, member: 17461"] Manipulate him into believing that what they taught me about myself wasn't true. So, yep. That therapist did an abuse on me. (Actually, he was a holistic physician, not a bona fide therapist.) A therapist I talked to about it much later told me that. That this happened because the first therapist was not adequately trained to have taken me on. I didn't believe him because 1) he was a male and 2) I still had that therapy thing going where you think the therapist is all-knowing and all-seeing and eternally correct in his assessment. That is why a good therapist can stand up to your abuser for you. You believe him more than the abuser. That was a very bad thing to have happened to me. Especially since I was so focused on finding out whether I had done something to my daughter to cause whatever happened to her. [I]And I didn't know what that was, either.[/I] So, yeah. Human beings are amazing. (After that happened, with the first therapist, I did not trust myself around male therapists, or male anyone. I was afraid I was tricking them, somehow; manipulating them.) But here I am, healing from those interpretations, now. Still, he shouldn't have done that. He was supposed to be careful enough of me to have recommended that I see someone else, if he found himself being successfully manipulated by me. Still, it came right out of left field, when he said that. But, then I searched for and found an excellent woman therapist, and the FOO group therapy. But I have been a really long time coming back from that first therapist. Yay for me, that I have all of you. Thank you especially, SWOT. Cedar [/QUOTE]
