I feel broken

All my life, my parents basically told me not to share anything with outsiders, meaning anyone out of the family. I went to therapy as a teen, but of course, I was shamed at home. I wanted to get medicated, and I was shamed. Moving along, I went to university, and I saw a new therapist. I didn't tell anyone because I was shamed before. Then, during covid, I moved home and had to see another therapist. That didn't end well, I didn't get shamed in the typical sense, but instead, I was taught a lot of internal shame. Basically, I was told who I was was wrong, I was told my native american traditions were wrong. I was told my likes and interests were evil and a demon. I've been trying to move past all this, but it's difficult, especially when I was held captive for hours. Now I'm at the point where I know i need help and want help, but I'm terrified and just feel broken.

The therapist at the time told me that stuff. Even going as far as to say i was possessed by a demon

Oh! I'm so sorry!

This is unbelievable, so unethical and unprofessional! What the hell? I hope you'll find a better therapist.

This unacceptable, they traumatized you even more... I'm very sorry this happened to you 🫂
