Isn't it amazing how they can still have such control over us? You are seeing this very rationally. Her blog is completely out of line. I suppose that some case (a very strange one) could be made for her right to post about herself. But she has NO right to post about her patients. And it is not helpful to her patients for her to post about herself. I would think that it would be an ethical violation (the kind that she could be censored for).
I understand your need to let her know how she hurt you. But she isn't going to learn from it. She has proven that she can rationalize whatever she does, and she will continue to do that. And she has her husband and mother helping her out! I think that is what has been most frustrating for me - believing that my old therapist would not learn from what happened with me. I still think about her, but I don't want to see her anymore. Remember, I started this a bit before you did - there is hope for the future.
The last time I saw my pdoc (whose office is across the hall from hers), he asked about what went wrong with my therapy with her. I was able to tell him quite clearly. So now, at least, I feel like the information is out there, in a place where if she wanted to access it she could. Will he ever tell her what I said? Probably not unless she asks him. But maybe if he sees someone else's therapy going down the shoot, he will be able to say something helpful to her and maybe she will listen. I got enough closure that I'm going to see my pdoc one last time and then have my GP prescribe my anti-depressants. I don't "need" that group anymore. There is hope.
I'm so glad that you can talk to your current therapist about this blog. That is so important.
It would be great if you could not go there. Can you limit yourself - once a day? Can you look at NOT going there as a way to treat yourself?
She will probably never understand what she did to you. That is her loss. She could grow if she knew. But the same characteristics that led her to provide the type of therapy that she did are the reasons she will not understand what she did.
Protect yourself. You are worth it.
