Bad therapeutic experiences - can you help?

I relate to your post. My most recent therapist about 1 year ago blamed me. I have no issue taking responsibility for my own healing but blaming us is toxic. I havd had 2 recent successful therapy experiences. One was domestic violence treatment and now help from the veterans spouses network. Those of us with trauma have had all we can take of being blamed. I had a long history of being overmedicatrd by psychiatry as well. Forgiveness is not necessary. I do have peer support from VSN. This has been very helpful. Is thus type of help possible for you. Peer to peer?

Thanks for your reply. I've done some digging on this and have found some validation. Apparently the problem is bigger than I ever dreamed. There's a good measure of incompetence in the mental health profession and sometimes I feel that if you know one clinician, you know them all. They repeat the same talking points, such as, "happiness is a choice" and other such nonsense. So perhaps my healing should be predicated on knowing I'm not alone. I will no longer tolerate insult to injury.
