Like I said, it's a judgement call and is situation specific. I don't think there was any reason to judge or insult me. I respect ethics and respect the law and am sorry you've been hurt so badly. But the reality is that humans make mistakes. I know psychologists who have had complaints filed against them by patients for various (non abusive) reasons, and nothing has ever been done. It's the nature of the error that dictates the outcome.
I was not attempting to insult you. My concern was genuine.

I agree that the nature of the error does dictate the outcome.

My conveyed ideas were not meant to start a debate. I asked a question about Social Worker ethics because I was unfamiliar with them, and only familiar with the Counselor ethics, and I know they are not exactly the same. The agency that my T is affiliated with takes ethics very seriously so I wanted to clarify before moving forward with what I want to share.
