Please go easy on me, I’m really struggling with this:
Long story short I was seeing a therapist for 2 years for complex trauma. She had some pretty loose boundaries that included things like encouraging emails between sessions and some pretty personal self disclosures.
We had a rupture a few weeks ago and we tried to repair but it wasn’t going well and she ended up terminating me. Actually I canceled the upcoming session I had but then tried rebook it and she told me no because I had terminated. I said I hadn’t, I was just angry and canceled but she still insisted it was over.
I asked several times for a discharge/termination session but she ghosted me.
Now I bave friends and family telling me that I should be reporting her because her loose boundaries caused me to become extremely attached and my sessions became less about therapy for my trauma and more about the relationship itself. And the fact that she terminated me and would not give me a discharge session seems a bit unethical because it has reopened many of the traumatic wounds I was going to therapy for in the first place.
They are worried that if my therapist did this to me who else is she doing it to.
I don’t want to go into too much detail about her loose boundaries except to say that in hindsight it feels like we were enmeshed in one another.
Should I be reporting her?
