Healing from my narc THERAPIST
Healing from my narc THERAPIST
It has been six months since I saw my therapist, and I continue to feel violated on a daily basis.
I started therapy to him to make sense out of the treatment I received from my mother and siblings growing up. Why things at home were nothing but chaos. This was not my frist time in theapy. I left my first therapist prior to the relationship with my husband and having my daughter, and wanted a different perspective.
The beginning of therapy was great, well there was drama, but I thought it was for my "well being." then something happened. I saw him for what he was, but I still didn't want to leave. We would go back and forth and felt like I was the therapist trying to salvage what i could for the "theraputic relationship." Lots of stuff was going on in my life, issues with my biological family, physical problems began, and my daughter (now diagnosed with autism).
I was not in love with him, but he made me feel alive for the first time in my life. He told me i was his favorite client and i knew him better tahn any client and most of his friends. I trusted him more than anyone in my life, and in return he used my sensitivity against me. He went over the line, and made me feel like a nut case. He was also my professor and it's like he had no regard for the ethics of therapy and why certain codes are in place. He was care not to go over the line where it would be illegal. In the end, I had so much going on and he didn't make counseling a priority. I was then "needy." He used MY PTSD and the anger of treatment and give me a borderline diagnosis.
He is supposed to be "one of the best" according to his collegues, and I realize that is the image he has put out there. He is a very smooth man. He is a pastorial counseler, embraces budhism and mindfulness and it just has me feeling that I am crazy. He is admired by so many, and it is hard for me to believe I am the only client who he head f*cked?
Where do I go now? I started a blog and focusing on my daughter. Using art and my blog to "get it out." so much to get out. I feel hurt and will never have closure with him.
he is the sick one
