It is extremely alienating. Not only do you become distanced from regular people, you also get distanced from therapists who are supposed to be people that help you. Many therapists would choose their tribe over helping you because they can't handle that their tribe would harm you, especially intentionally. And that's if you can muster trust in therapists after being abused by one of them.

The power imbalance is so great in this profession

I don't know why I should keep going. I'm destroyed. I'm working hard to rebuild myself but I don't know why I should keep going anymore since you discarded me. I'm still crying a year later. I feel the pain deep in my gut. I wish none of this ever happened.
