My therapist abused me recently

My therapist didn't know I was a lesbian. It just didn't come up until the session before the last one. I thought she knew. I told her what I was. She's a "Christian" so I get why she doesn't like my sexual orientation. Anyway, she was having me do EMDR for my sex abuse as child. I was raped for years and years. We had two EMDR sessions and she concludes I'm free of trauma and that was it. Even though more memories were coming up, she refused to discuss them. She was openly disgusted at me and I really didn't know what to do. I decided to ask some questions about other stuff and answers were short, sweet and hostile. She had demeaned me before in several ways, which I won't discuss. That didn't dawn on me to last weekend. I replayed all our sessions and found lots of hints she was a psycho b*tch. Well, the last week has been a nightmare. Denial, anger, rage, crying, depression, isolation, feeling betrayed, etc. I honestly feel just like after I had been raped. My trust for any new shrink is gone. I'd rather have a rout canal than go to another. In fact, G-D the whole G-D therapy profession is precisely my feelings!

Where in the hell do people like this come from? I can't sue this c*** because I can't prove she dumped me over my sexual orientation. I just don't know what to do. Help me?

Guess this board is dead.

We’re sorry to hear what happened. We had a psychiatrist that told us she didn’t believe in DID, the very thing we’re dealing with. I remember the confusion and frustration we felt. It’s nothing compared to what this T did, but you’re not alone. I’m afraid to say the words “I’m gay” in front of her because of all the shame she’s put us through.

But I’m sure you can find someone helpful if you give therapy another chance. Ours is very open and honest, and has never told us we’re wrong on tried to invalidate us. You should never be hurt like what she did.

She sounds like a monster. When I was a Christian, I would have never treated someone like that. Ill bet she call herself "righteous" I always cringe when someone does that.

I am a Christian, and I apologize so deeply for how hurt and abused you were by her.
If she couldn't handle your orientation, she should have referred you
to another therapist or psychologist. There is no excuse for her.

Many Christians have not studied the so-called "clobber passages" in the Bible regarding
"homosexuality" in their original languages. FYI, if scholars go back to the original Hebrew and Greek, they will find that our English Bibles have translated things like men abusing their young apprentices, gay prostitution, etc. as homosexuality. This is what is condemned in my opinion,
not a lesbian orientation or monogamous gay relationship.

What I'm saying is you are equal to a heterosexual which I'm sure you realize, and God loves and values you as you are.

Regardless of her beliefs, she should have treated you with unconditional acceptance
and respect.
