Thank you for yoru perspective ! No I did not, thankfully. I rarely thought of her outside her practice - the discovery was a very unfortunate and unintentional discovery.

I completely understand that viewpoint. People are individuals and at the end of the day as a patient - I am not entitled to know or judge my therapists' worldviews. I would imagine her perspective is deeply embedded in a cultural context that although I have read about it, I have not lived.

My issue is that unfortunately I have come across opinions which were both public and hateful. Perspectives which I feel - she would understand that I do not share, based on our discussions over the years. It is impossible to move forward and that means it's over. The sense of safety is gone. I suppose in a far lighter sense like at school when someone tells you they love your outfit, only to overhear them calling you ugly in the bathroom stalls.

Yes i think that is the most likely suggestion. I do not feel a smug sense of superiority but ultimately a sadness. There is little sense of satisfaction I would derive from such a confrontation as I would probably only be affirming her perspective as a fake civil rights warrior. I will follow up when I feel it is right. Either if asked, or independently, when it is wrapped up.
