Thank you, Penny.
It helps to know that I'm not the only one who has researched their therapist. My old therapist sounds like it is the worst thing that anyone could do. I agree that it isn't great, but I don't think that it is a total sin - for me, it is part of my illness. I always told her everything (and once she asked me "why did you tell me that??") so she knew exactly what I had done. I think she is a little sensitive.
My new therapist has a picture and short professional biography on the web. And his wife has a picture of the family on the web. So it will be interesting to see how open he is. I think that the picture will help me a lot. When I was looking for my old therapist, I was looking for a picture.
So I'm trying to convince myself that I'm not evil, and that what I've done isn't so awful that I can't be forgiven.
I guess I still have to decide if I'll forgive her for seeing me for months on end without having any idea what was going on. That was the relationship I was supposed to be able to count on. The first 7 years were really very good, and nothing that happens now can change that.
Thanks for your support.
