Dear Elle:

I agree with you: you were not “imagining things”. Your share is a testimony to how it is possible for a person to be a relationship therapist while being unable himself to have a healthy intimate relationship in his own life. It is possible for a person to be a psychotherapist with no healing of his own childhood injuries. His job is to promote others’ healing while his own healing is not happening.

As to the title of your thread, “did I do the right thing?”- I still believe that the answer is yes, you did the right thing.
