I feel so alone. I had a therapist for almost 6 yrs & she completely abandoned me. She said she would always be there for me & that was a lie. The boundaries were blurred from the beginning. When I said I had no friends she said she would be my friend. She talked to be throughout college & emailed me weekly after I graduated for a year and a half. I felt like she was my best friend & then all of a sudden she told me to stop contacting her. I've been molested, raped, bullied, teased, hit by car, broke up with boyfriends & never felt so much emotional pain in my life then when she abandoned me. I spoke to other therapists & I pretty much burn them all out emotionally. They think they can help me & then after a while they realize they can't & get frustrated. I need someone to talk to when I need to talk. I can't pour my thoughts and feelings out in one 45 min session. That's not enough time for me. I need supportive people in my life on a daily basis not people I have to pay to essentially pretend that they care about me, when all they are doing is trying to make a living like everyone else.
I'm here you can talk with me
I just feel so hurt that I pretty much lost my best friend. I've been emailing her and she hasn't responded. She said she cares about me and left me in the cold. It hurts. I've been through so much and thought she actually cared and she obviously didn't at all. She was just doing her job.
Unfortunately that could be the case but just know that support groups are here for you
My therapist dropped me too. I got really sick with bipolar and stoped seeing him for a while when I tried to come back to get help he didn't want anything to do with me. I was very crazy when I was sick. But isn't that what he is for? To get help? I don't get it. I thought he would always be there for me. I thought he knew me better than anyone on earth. Then with no reason why he wouldn't see me again. I feel dirty. How could he know me the real me. And never want to talk to me again. Sick I feel sick about it:( I am sorry it happened to you too. It's the worst.
I don't understand how therapists can get away with doing this to people.
There are a lot of so-called professionals that give counseling and therapy a bad name, but just one thing to note that maybe a lot of people do not know: a therapist is NOT supposed to keep you forever. There is always supposed to be closure to that relationship. Otherwise, there cannot be continual growth. :( So sorry for the pain you are going through.
Yea I know. Therapists are supposed to give you closure & help you cope before they terminate you. This lady never did that. When I said that she isn't truly in my life, she said she was and wasn't going anywhere, which was a lie. She knew she couldn't talk to me weekly up at school because I graduated and moved an hr and a half back home. But, she continued to email me and talk to me for a yr and a half after graduation. It's like she was my friend and my therapist. The boundaries were completely blurred. And I'm wondering if she realized this & decided to drop all contact with me because she was unethical and crossed the line and did a lot of damage to me emotionally by staying in touch & pretending to be my friend.
