I would say yes, if and when the client is up for the daunting task and is able to handle the emotional consequences. I'm actually debating whether or not to file a complaint against my old t right now. While I likely have enough hard evidence of old t's many violations as well as documenting support from new t, that her license will be taken away without having to go to court it's not a guarantee. Right now I'm not emotionally prepared or strong enough to be put on the stand or hear what things old t might have to say about me (truth or fiction). Also, in my state, if this would go to court, any private info revealed about me that old t would use to defend herself goes on public record. Gotta prepare myself for that possibility too.

I know reporting old t would devastate her. The way she used and abused me, I shouldn't care. But, I do because there were a lot of good things done, too, despite the great harm she caused me. I have guilt around that to work though first. In the end, I know I need to stop this woman because she is potentially a danger to any client that walks through her door. It would also be healing and empowering for me to stand up for myself and speak out against her.

Ideally, I would love for everyone to file reports against seriously unethical t's. Realistically, the reporting process isn't black and white so it's not easy to do.
