Your courage to relate this frightening experience to Connect members is to be commended! Thank you for sharing your story, I know that this must have been difficult for you.
I don't think any of us can interpret this experience for you, though. This experience needs to be discussed with your therapist in order to be able to sort it out and put it behind you. As soon as you can do that, in a therapeutic environment, the easier it will be for you to move on.
Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing,
Teresa

Hello @danybegood1
I am so sorry that you had such a bad experience, that counselor was so unkind and unprofessional. However, you still need help to work through these experiences that you described in your post above. As @charlie75 mentioned, keep looking for another mental health professional. Ask your primary care doctor for another referral or your county mental health association. Considering all you have experienced you deserve some good quality care. It is there you, but you will just need to persist until you find it.
Will you develop a plan for seeking professional help this week? Let us know how you are doing.

@hopeful33250 , yeah, my first visit with a mental health guy told me I had psychomotor retardation, and was casually dressed and poorly groomed. What a great thing to say to a woman who actually took a shower, and dressed nicely, or so I thought, and put on my makeup. He was such a great Dr. that I will never go back to him. I have no energy, so when I do take a shower it leaves me so tired. It's really hard for me to go anywhere. If he only knew what he did to me with that evaluation. Thanks for your response. Dany
