I am always sort of amazed that Ts can do those things, knowing full well that their profession is at stake. Just shows that their mental health is not intact, that they get so out of control and take such obvious risks. I am glad that you benefitted from reporting the T.
Other types of more subtle manipulations and violations can be much harder to prove and defended by the the therapist. Easier to put it down to the client's issues.
I think I could have reported my first T because he demonstrated most of the inappropriate and unprofessional things in outside of session email and text communications. But it would have been a lot of work to compile it to make it meaningful. Also, when I decided to quit, I deleted all of our emails on an impulse because I was so fed up and wanted nothing to do with him anymore.

Well, her advances towards me were apparently obvious to everyone but me. There was a **** ton of gaslightingg on her part to so that was extremely difficult. It's so odd to say that I'm 'lucky' to have all these text but it's true, I am. I feel awful for people who have had to deal with the more subtle types of abuse that are equally damaging.
