Firstly, it’s a leap to think a client like me could hurt a big successful therapist like him. But let’s say I could. I don’t think I did.
I don’t think he had to adjust his counseling practice or clients because of me. I don’t believe that he had to because the answer for him to stop all of this was to pick up the phone and call me and fix it. He chose not to, thus he couldn’t have been very badly hurt.
On the flip side, if all I had to do was pick up the phone and call him to stop my hurt from hurting, I would’ve done that a long time ago. People who hurt want the pain to stop.
If The Therapist was in pain, it was of his own making and nothing I did or didn’t do caused it or could fix it. The answer was at his fingertips but it wasn’t what he wanted. So no, he does not get to accuse me of distressing him or hurting his career when he had a fast answer, the protection of his coworkers and boss and attorneys, and was getting nominated for awards which I never checked to see if he won.
I’m not about to feel sorry for a guy who hurt me and tried to make his choices out to be my fault.
The Therapist caused the pain. He was the only one of us with the power to stop and heal the pain and he repeatedly chose not to fix it. That’s not what victims do, it’s what their abusers do.
Oh and if his counseling career tanks, he can be a successful stripper. We all think it, I’m just the one saying it. I might hate him, but he’s still 100% totally fucking gorgeous.
Fuck that guy.
