Sweetheart, I am SO SORRY you went through this. And I have to say, as a therapist and researcher these stories make me SO ANGRY. What a complete idiot your therapist is! But as for some good coming out of it, it did. Many, many people have read this post and can feel more confident standing up to their "therapists" and saying 'NO' to these ludicrous, unresearched, undocumented suggestions. Your therapist had no evidence that this would help you. In fact, if she'd looked at the evidence she would have known it wouldn't. It was just "an idea" in her head, and now she's back to square one.


If I were you, I'd confront the therapist about this "idea" of hers, and the obvious results. It could result in a healed and safe relationship. But if there's any hint on her part of blaming you for the outcome, find someone else and quick!


Oh - one last thing. You're a brave. courageous person with a will to get better. Good for you! Your future is bright and hopeful. Once you find the right treatment program, you will shine - sailing through to a complete cure, as I did and countless others. You hang in there. It's the undefeatable spirit like yours that has the best outcome!
