Ugh, Judy. I can't imagine. I don't even want to. I'm so sorry.
And Fallsfall, I'm sorry you had that experience too. And glad to detect an improvement in your self view. :)
Ok, maybe that's why I'm afraid of supervision. Reason number 47. There is:
My stuff is my stuff. I trust my therapist with it, but it's no one else's busniness.
As much as I trust him, I am worried that he's saying things about me that I wouldn't like, as he did once before.
I'm afraid they'll suggest something I don't like. Termination worst case (tho I think my therapist wouldn't agree to that), or some new style or tack or something. I remember once he was different somehow, and I accused him of trying a new method of dealing with me and told him I didn't like it. He denied it, but went back to his normal role the next session. Maybe he was experiencing some countertransference and wasn't aware of it till I mentioned it or maybe I was right. But I don't want some supervisor mucking about in a way I wouldn't like. There's a big enough chance of that if he goes to some seminar or something.
And variations on the above themes.
Still, I know it may be a good idea in theory. I just think I need to hear now how he uses it in practice. :(
