My Therapist Totally Just Traumatized Me

[stephanie44]

I just saw your thread and read all of the posts. I am not sure if you should stay with your T or not but I would like to share that my T is a trauma survivor, sexual abuse survivor, and rape survivor. I am only stating this because I know that she knows firsthand what this type of trauma is like and she has had to do a lot of work to heal herself. I was once in a survivor's support group that was run by a therapist who was not a survivor and after she made a joke about having airplane sex, I knew she would never get it. I eventually left the group. She may be a good therapist but just not for me or for my issues. I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks so much. My therapist admitted her error and apologized sincerely and profusely. This was a few months ago and we have worked through it and are past it. I really love this therapist and now can't imagine leaving her. This issue caused a crisis for me, she screwed up but the rest of our relationship has been really helpful to me. I feel very lucky to have found her. Thanks.
