I'm so sorry this happened to you. The last time I went to the hospital was something very similar to this. I have gotten to a point where I have no problem detailing my entire history. But what I find is that now that people take my diagnosis of borderline (it is one of the many i have been given) seriously, that is all they see...even though I have fully recovered and borderline is no longer an issue. So it's like they taunt me with what I tell them about myself, and the only reason I am saying anything at all is to "get attention". Since last September, my last trip to the hospital, I have been trying to recover from a devastating and horribly invasive experience at the hands of the so-called mental health professionals.

The majority of them, for whatever reason, have no sensitivity training. It would also appear that the majority of them don't know much about consent, or how to obtain it prior to go poking and digging about. Not to mention that a great number of mental health professionals seem, for some reason, to not have any personal experience with mental or emotional trauma, and so they have no idea the kinds of trauma they are causing and don't seem to give much thought to how a person is going to pick up the pieces after the wounds are reopened.
