I have known her a long time and she is always attentive in session. She has helped me in many ways over the years esp. with the dissociation. I fear that she is treating me badly because I've done something wrong. That can't be true. Sigh.
I do get how hard it is to cut ties with someone who has been helpful in certain capacities. It's hard to see how unprofessional they really are being, or how their behavior is negatively affecting you - it sometimes seems that it's all your fault instead. But I think you are doing a great thing by looking for someone new. This therapist sounds like she is being very unreasonable. And even if she weren't, her behavior is causing you a LOT of undue stress.
What an awesome group of people! Thank you for taking the time to read and respond. It helps to know I am not alone with my thoughts. Peer support rocks.
