First post but long time lurker in Aibu (lemon drizzle, pom bears etc). Posting here because I don't know who I can talk to in real life about this. Had suffered EA as a child and as a result eating disorders but had made good progress and was getting my life together in a good way. Went to see this person as I was having trouble dealing with a bully at work and also struggling with some big decisions. I saw this person for a long time during which I got very sick and depressed until I started to realise that their behaviour was controlling abusive and chauvinistic. He told me a lot of things that I realise now were just not true eg: at my age (mid thirties) I was unlikely to meet someone as "there are a lot more single women than men" ( this was a frequent theme) and that there was some issue with the way I expressed myself/ I talked too much. Looking back I was actually attractive and made friends easily but somehow I internalised this and became so filled with fear and devoid of hope. I am trying to move on but I keep waking up at night dwelling on the whole thing and crying. How do I get past this? I feel I need help but don't think I can trust another therapist or counsellor.

AIBU?
AIBU to ask if anyone has had experience of a damaging or unethical psychotherapist and how they moved on from it?
