> Well, ending therapy is a tumultuous time for people who say they have T's that walk on water! Other than the ending of your therapy, what kind of therapist was she? Did she injure you psychologically or sexually or any other way when you were her patient? Maybe she knew it was you emailing her and decided "two can play this game".
Hi rnny, thanks for your reply. I agree that ending therapy can be a tumultuous time for those who say they have Ts that "walk on water." I have thought that about two Ts I've had - with the first, about six years ago, I told her of my thoughts, and she contained them and did not reciprocate. With this particular T, I believe she tried to contain my feelings but was unable to, and reciprocated. Please see my earlier post for a few examples. The therapy ended because the other staff, including her supervisor, saw that there was a problem with transference-countertransference and assigned me to a different T. I was told by the supervisor that this sort of situation had occurred before with the same T and that in her opinion I wasn't the first to have been damaged by this T's boundary crossings and violations. After that program was over, I was referred to a T in private practice whom I've been seeing for about two years. Both she and my med mgmt doctor also gave their opinions that I had been damaged psychologically and emotionally. Regarding the emails and "two can play this game," I'm not really sure what you mean. Play what game? Thanks.
