Dinah, well I'm not sure if you'll see this. I'm so sorry your therapist let you down so spectacularly. You deserve better. I hate to see such an insightful and kind-hearted person hurt so much, particularly when the hurt comes from what is supposed to be the safest, most nurturing relationship.
The further I get from my own therapy the more I think that therapy benefits the therapists more than the clients. However, I do still hope that despite this awful ending, you have benefited from the 20 year relationship. I like your phrasing, that it provided an alternative to being a "suburban hermit".
The not-knowing why someone left just absolutely makes me nuts. I just want to punch him and the referral therapist for refusing to give an outline of the reasons. I do not think secrecy is about protecting the clients or even about protecting the therapist from actual harm. To me it is about protecting the therapists' power. Oz behind the curtain and all.
