Re: my doctor abused me emotionaly

I am so sorry to read of your experiences. I am NOT a professional, but I have tremendous practical experience with disorder.

I cannot advise you on what you should do, or not, but I'll offer some suggestions that I've undertaken, personally, to deal with similar betrayals.

First, and foremost, it is vital for you to understand that you were set up and betrayed by a human predator. In times of particular vulnerability, we are simply easy, easy targets for these types of people. So.....having typed that, understanding what you were dealing with will help in your personal recovery.

Next, I would strongly recommend that you contact the website, http://www.thehotline.org
to find out what options are available to you. YOUR recovery from this betrayal is more important than seeing the "doctor" face any legal or civil consequences, just yet. Your SELF (Self = Soul) needs to recover before you entertain that idea because it's simply too overwhelming to facilitate when we're just emerging from such a situation.

Then, I would strongly, strongly recommend that you engage in intensive counseling therapy, ASAP. You mentioned that you were trying to manage Depression when this whole nasty association spiraled out of control, and that betrayal is of the most heinous kind, IMHO - you were trusting a "professional" to have your best interests in mind and completely unprepared to put off his "love-bombing" technique (paying for this and that) that ALL predators use. Without proper and strong counseling therapy, processing your experiences and managing your Depression will be a very, very difficult challenge.

Finally, I would strongly recommend that you forgive yourself for having been targeted, baited and lured, and succumbing to the predator's techniques. I have experienced numerous betrayals by many different predators, and it's no easy task to get on our individual Healing Paths.

After you have been in counseling for a while, you can address the issue of whether or not to file civil or criminal charges. To be frank and honest, filing against a licensed professional and expecting "justice" typically does NOT turn out well. The dance of disorder in the criminal and legal justice systems is ugly and disappointing.

I wish you the very best in your recovery from these terrible experiences of betrayal. Some other websites to visit are:

Take control of this situation because YOU are worth so much more than these experiences of betrayal. Seriously. You may not "feel" this way right now, but I assure that it's true.

My most sincere and brightest blessings to you. Tweet
