So it OK for therapists to abuse clients? It is the clients' fault? They should do 'step four' and allow therapists to get away with disgusting abusive behaviour? How do you reconcile that view with the AA view that alcoholism is an 'illness', an 'allerrgy'? This woman was and is a predator who preyed on vulnerable people to meet her OWN needs, NOT to help others. I have taken action - - I am 17 days sober and I have reported her to the British Association For Counselling and Psychotherapy, of which she is still a member, and who have strict codes of ethical practice. Therapists are legally not allowed to engage in personal relatonships with clients or harm them in any way. I am not on a 'pity pot', I am trying too see that others are not similarly harmed. If AA do not believe in that principle, then I despair for all its members. SHE is an 'adult;, too, and accredted with the license to 'help' people who are in real trouble. Good luck, I hope you never need a 'therapist.' Neville.
