I gotta admit, based on what this guy has said to you I think he would be a riot as a friend.
As a therapist - no friggin' way. I'm glad you got out of that situation and are building something better - something that will lead to healing.
You deserve better than a friend whose being a completely inappropriate therapist. Based on your posts and you're lively personality here, I'm sure you have plenty of friends who don't pose.
The manner in which he handled the termination was all wrong too. Completely wrong. What a jackass. Can I say that under the civility rules - too bad I just did.
These comments should definately go down in the babble hall of fame for over the top comments made by therapist during therapy.
Why on earth would he tell you about his colonoscopy? His drug use? How therapeutic is that?
Of course, I had a therapist that would tell me all about how his parents abused him. I bolted as fast as I could.
I also interviewed a therapist who office was filled to the brim with teddy bears - all of which where focused right on the patient. It was creepy having all those eyes looking at me.
Good therapy can be very good. Bad therapy - well, it leaves scars.
You will heal from this, though it may take some time.
Peace to you.
Seldom.
