L-
I really sympathize with your distress and I can understand how this entire drama could be so painful for you.
Now for the kicker. It ain't drama for your therapists. It's a job. Those guys aren't losing any sleep over you.
First of all, all medical providers are inclined to side with members of their own tribe. It's a fact of life with that fraternity. History tells us that your new guy will circle the wagans with your old guy.
Secondly, your old therapist has written you off. He's cashed those checks. What he doesn't want is a law suit for mal-practice. In his mind (and your current therapist's too) he CAN'T apologize. Because an apology is an admission of some sort of guilt and his is just not going to expose himself that way.
With micro-voice recorders, can you for one minute imagine him giving you any kind avenue for legal action by speaking candidly? He dropped his gym membership because frankly, he does not want to risk a scene that may provide contributory evidence, with witnesses no less. His motives now are strictly utilitarian.
Nope, you're history in his mind. You might as well make him history in yours. Maybe sign up for a group class or something at the gym, do some volunteer work. Anything to get that clown off your mind.
Good Luck
