I would do that if possible, but I'm not sure she would suggest it. So far she has not acknowledged receipt of my request.

Erm. Okay.
As a selection of dubious events, I would be talking about
:
* Suggesting upping my sessions from one hour every five days to 6 - 8 hours a week, fostering an unrealistic dependency, then suddenly cutting me back down to one session a week with no tapering.
* Offering me her stuff and her sister's stuff to Ebay, with a split in profits, and getting hostile when I did not take up this offer.
* Offering me a job in the clinic as her Personal Assistant while continuing on as her client, and saying it would be good for both of us 'to learn about boundaries'.
* Telling me that as part of her 'charity scheme' a rich client had paid for one of my sessions, and offering me the money for it.
* Over-sharing inappropriate personal info - somehow, details of her breasts and her vagina both showed up in my therapy out of the blue, along with casual references to her sex life. Also dozens of references to her own serious mental health issues and family dysfunction, which made it impossible for me (the client) not to worry about her. Details of her family's mental health and trauma. Playing me a random video of her mother drunk or spaced out riffing about her children. Bizarro.
* Lots and lots of cancelling and rescheduling. I'm pretty easy going, but this shouldn't really be a regular event. Reasons including: her brother was in town and she wanted to see him, and her dog having a reverse sneeze attack and needing the vet. Now, I love my brother and I love dogs, but feel it was unprofessional to share these reasons with me.
* Making promises she was never in a place to make in the first place - again, that is really unprofessional. Saying we could always be close to each other, saying she would always be by my side, ad infinitum.
* Copying in the PA to a non-secure personal email address. Copying me by mistake into a thread discussing something in the clinic. Sending a mad text that London was under security alert to all her clients, that was an internet hoax.
* Terminating by text message. Wtf.
I'm sure there are a few more that I've ranted about on threads over the last year.
