I was shocked and hurt by this. What was said about me privately was the opposite of what was said to me in sessions. I have no interest in confronting this therapist. I have been damaged enough by this incident. It's that these unresolved issues are really bothering me. I'm wondering if I should write a letter and send it to the therapist, that way I can get what this has done to me off my chest. I know I can't just ignore it and pretend like nothing happened. This has really hurt me. I need help as to what to do about this. I currently do not have a therapist to discuss this with and how am I supposed to trust one again after this?
Please do document this by writing down what you know and when you learned of it and how. Even if you never pursue legal action, just knowing that you COULD and that you have the power to do so, might be healing.

Such actions could cost this therapist his/her license. Sadly, such bad behavior was probably not reserved for only you. New clients may be pouring their hearts out to such a slimeball as we speak.

So sorry you were a victim of unprofessional behavior.
Thanks for this!
