I complained and lost. My complaint was "failure to refer," a category a researching journalist told me that complaint boards barely take seriously. I didn't have documentation. The therapist defended himself implying I wasn't tethered to reality. His "interpretations" would have required mind reading, but the complaint board was too obtuse to see through his equivocation.

It took fortitude to face the therapist's gaslighting and scorn, even from the page. I did it for my benefit only. I don't think clients have mandates to clean up the profession; I think filing a grievance should be for the client's process only.
