In reply to If T hurt you, would you go back?, posted by Birdsong on May 19, 2009, at 9:16:06
I think it depends.
One thing I can say for sure is that my T has hurt me a lot.
In the beginning I would typically lose it in session, quit - vowing never to return, but a little voice in me said "there something about this man and this process that I should give the benefit of the doubt"
So I would go back and we would talk about things. Usually it ended up just being a misunderstanding or misinterpretation on my part (or his). With each repair, I trusted him a little teeny weeny bit more and the therapy progressed.
In your case, I think I would try to talk to him again, if only to explain why you are hurt and had to leave.
Of course, I have absolutely no idea how he will respond, but I suspect that response will tell you quite clearly whether you want to keep going back.
Seldom.
