Mine said I had slashed my wrists, which was untrue. So I objected to signing something false. The doctor took a pen and crossed out what was fictional and said, "There . . . are you happy, now?" (Gee . . . excuse me for being such a nuisance!)
That's when I decided that some of what they did was submit whatever paperwork would get them the most funding. It wasn't about me. It was about their program and their funding.
The set-up you describe, Sarmas, does sound like the T has too many things occupying her attention at once. I believe you were neglected in favor of those whose problems she has some particular interest in. I figured out that I was their least favorite participant in the program I was in.
If you can get it funded, I would encourage you to seek out a T who just does office visits, one-on-one. It might help you to recover from this recent experience. It shouldn't be a competition. I like an office where I don't even see any other client.

That's horrible that they would falsify information to benefit themselves. You're absolutely right. Then on top of that to have to get it corrected and you receiving an attitude for it is uncalled for. You're just looking for what's just with the correct information. It's true there are those that don't get the attention and care that we need and it unfortunately defeats the purpose for seeking out therapy. She was a one on one and had her own office. She only worked two days but her two days were packed with clients back to back. I would sit in a small area with other clients as well waiting for other therapists. She sometimes would finish hiding a few minutes of her last session with her door open while she said her goodbyes. I felt like she was disinterested in my case and just minimized it. Everything we spoke about she tried to see how I was wrong and others were right. It was quite disturbing because I felt like I had to defend my stance at all times. She questioned everything I said as if I saw it in a distorted way. This was with even proven facts and evidence. I never felt like she was on my side.
