I think an abusive therapist who I saw in real life for more than seven years has become an introject. But I’m not sure what an introject is and how can I finally get rid of him.....?
He abandoned me at a particularly bad time And even more scary, I have heard of many other therapists abandoning their clients at a scary time, in this forest, when they may have finally begun to trust the “therapist” __________________ |

I want to make sure I understand before I respond. Do you mean you have taken on his beliefs as your own?

I don’t mean that, it’s more an inner .. thing... that pops up to berate me like he did. I don’t believe it but I don’t like it abusing me. Also there is sometimes a small grain of “truth” in some of the ugly things abusers say. Nobody is perfect. But no, I actually respect myself and quite like myself most of the time.... for one thing, I am not a “bad person” but he did not respect me. Or have humanity or kindness.

His poor judgment or actions are not your fault nor should they be your burden. Take those grains of truth and work with them to morph them into something you like better. His point in time assessment does not need to be your future.
In the future if someone treats you this way you have the opportunity to leave and report them. Someone being bad to us does not mean we are bad. It means we have put ourselves, oftentimes through well intended action, in the path of an abuser. It is what we do in the moment we see them for what they are that matters. Essentially, tell that voice that berates you to shut it! |
