Personally it would be a big trust issue for me and would also make me question her credibility.

On the flip side, have you found any benefit from seeing her?
Thank you. Yes, many benefits from seeing her. I paid for it all privately because it used to be supportive and lead to personal growth in many aspects. This makes the firing her decision hard. We're in EU and the cost is not as much as you'd expect, so it was money well spent.

Mistakes are acceptable and I believe she menat me no harm. However when giving the diagnostic code shou should have added "but keep in mind, I don't use the official criteria"and all would have been fine.

Mistakes are acceptable but I strongly believe there's a correct, adult and mature way of dealing with them. That is that the group involved put aside all blame and shame and, together, for personal development and betterment's sake, openly find what part of the process was flowed. Then committ to improving.

My boss at work, this woman is great. Yesterday a patient didn't get her insulin twice and she started a report (rough translation from my language: abnormal event cause investigation). Nurses freaked out and got defensive, boss explained no body is out for blood we are here because we want to be the very best we can, this time we didnt tho. So let's talk about what happened to identify where we improve, not who we punish. And we all learned something new.

The other day a patient had to have a leg amputated, which got done too late so she came very close to dying from among others infection. Again we sat down and like supportive, civilized people figured out what part of our routine is defective and must get improved.

That boss, she has the right attitute. The psychologist on the other hand, in my eyes, acts like a scared little girl lying a bit on this a bit on that, backtracking, getting defensive and blocking the talks.

This is the obstacle I can't overcome, but her mistake, yes I can forgive. **** happens.
