She may lose her licence - and I can't tell you how amazing it feels....not that I don't care...but it feels amazing to finally believe and understand that if she does have it revoked or suspended thats because of her actions- IT IS NOT MY FAULT . . .
I don't have a lot of evidence and the only violation I could see for my last therapist was failure to refer. The problem is that even though she diagnosed me with PDNOS, which she had no special qualifications for, not many other therapists do, either. She did get some consultation, I do know that. It just wasn't enough? But I have no confidence that any therapist knows anything about how to help me, and the profession as a whole isn't addressing that as far as I can see, so it seems unlikely that a complaint could be very well grounded in my situation.

What I really did like, though, and will try to apply to myself, is that IT IS NOT MY FAULT that so many therapists have made me worse and not been able to help me. They generally put it in terms of me doing the work and being willing to change. Well, I did "the work" and changed in ways they recommended and now get along worse in the world than I did before following those recommendations. That looks like my fault, because now those new ways ARE faults, in other people's eyes, in the way I affect them. The therapists did that, no way I could have predicted that in advance. Their licenses mean nothing IMO, but It's good that at least some of those who hurt people are forced out of the business.
