Wow that is such a load of shite. Those sorts of unilateral decisions and declarations are the mark of an amateur and someone whose own issues are front and center. Insinuations of harassment are a subtle client blaming device. It's ok for the therapist to drop the client abruptly and irresponsibly, but if the client protests or seeks to mitigate the harm they are the bad guy. Right. Mustn't disturb the princess in her lair. Mustn't challenge her royal decree.
I would nail her arse to the wall on Yelp. Not out of spite or vengeance, but because I think there is something very dangerous and pernicious in a therapist mistreating or abandoning or lying to a client, and then expecting the client to roll over and obey, without protest or complaint. It's a defeating and disempowering dynamic, possibly the last thing a client needs to get from therapy. Why absorb such injustice and stuff it down, when you paid this woman to at least not screw things up and make you worse? I put my ex therapist's nose in the s**t somewhat, by insistently telling her what she'd done, and it helped lessen the feelings of powerlessness and helplessness. Anyway, don't mind my ranting, you have your own plan.
