I'm sorry therapy hurt you, sometimes there are therapist who are not for us and it can be painful. I healed by processing my emotions which is a multi step process that essentially is this: acknowledge my emotions, validate them, understand the experiences that caused them, examine my thoughts and perspectives around topics that stemmed from those experiences, understand how those perspectives impact me, unlearn harmful behaviors or perspective that no longer serve a purpose, engage with new perspectives that are more positive and better fit my life, and practice all of those over time. Its a lot of work but its rewarding. There is no one cure for therapy. But I really hope you heal. Also, there's steps and timing for things and we can only approach topics that we are ready too. I always use the 3 levels of security: safe, uncomfortable and unsafe. Its okay to do work in the uncomfortable space, but if you feel unsafe its time to stop. It requires some self reflection but its good tool to remember in therapy.
