And what that experience taught me is that you could have said "Hey, I find what you said really ableist and discouraging and frankly kind of an assholeish thing to say," but it wouldn't have done any good.
There are two truths I have I learned from my years of therapy (in and out since I was nine): 1. Good therapists are really helpful and useful. 2. There are not many really good therapists. (Maybe other people who have had better luck than I have will chime in.)
You do not have to see him again. I don't think you should see him again. And I do encourage you to tell them exactly why. One of my regrets is I never told my victim blaming, smarmy therapist why I stopped seeing her. (Though she probably figured it out.)
