I am fairly confident my therapist meant no harm, at the end of the day I do take some responsibility i(not blame) in running with the story. At the time it seemed very genuine and still with a lack of knowledge of my relationship with addiction, the whole thing seemed to make sense. Thats one of the things in early recovery especially when you are hurting, lonely or confused, I am fairly confident that during those times you are more vulnerable to credulity. Because I had this kind of "just do it" attitude in the rehab, I picked up on many dubious claims and believed most things without much (if any) investigation. I just didn't know stuff especially, skills of critical thinking and investigation, if you had "therapist" written on your name plate then I probably assumed you knew what you talking about.
