I complained directly to two former T's by email -- the last one who terminated me because she "didn't have the emotional resources" to continue therapy with me and the nationally known, somewhat internationally known trainer and author who referred me to her and who saw me for 6 months while my regular T was on maternity leave. I got responses from both, and was therefore able to have my say, somewhat, even if I did not feel heard and told them that, too.
The way they can rip people off and blow us off is truly amazing. Call that "good boundaries" if you want. I call it heartless and deluded. But not, apparently in many cases, "unethical", according to the code that therapists themselves, not clients or client advocates, have written. That other therapists are offput if a client makes a complaint about another one is an indication of the ridiculousness of the system IMO.
