I have a prior post lurking somewhere I cannot find.

I posted that my psychologist and psychiatrist are required to report on my sessions to my veteran's affairs case worker. I had no choice but to agree to this as part of the requirements of my case management.

When I first posted, I was going through a great deal of anxiety. I was - and am - feeling considerably vulnerable.

It has been a week now and while still worried I now have feelings of outrage and that I have been violated. I am angry. I feel discredited - again. Once more I have been forced into a position of judgement and the need to justify myself, what happened, and the resulting effects including MST/PTSD (Military Sexual Trauma). I had to do this unsuccessfuly when it happened. I had to do this to prove a case to Veterans' Affairs (Canada), and now - eff it - I must do so again. It feels as though instead of being there to assist and keep me healthy, my mental health team is a predator out to disprove me. It has caused all the pain and memories to come out again.

This is very troubling as it countervenes every ethical expectations I have. Sure I signed waivers but I did so under duress. I had no choice in the matter.

So I brought my anger up this week to the therapist. Instead of talking about it or even indicating an understanding and validation of my feelings, she directed the rest of the session to work on anger management. WTF?
