I don't know how many of you follow discussing dissociation, but you may or may not know about the history of the woman who runs it. She promotes herself as somewhat of an expert in treating dissociative disorders, but what she neglects to disclose is her long history of ethical complaints against her, made by multiple clients over multiple years.

She used to work in Texas but had to hand in her license in the state of Texas after multiple complaints from clients. She then moved to Australia and set up the discussing dissociation website. Now she has been barred from practise in Australia also. I believe she has moved back to the USA now, and still promotes herself as an expert in the field of dissociation. She is planning to host a conference for dissociative individuals and/or treating therapists in Chicago in October.

This woman has a history that shouldn't be ignored. She has a long established and ongoing pattern of unethical behaviors, including holding sessions at all times of the day and night (in one instance seeing a client in their hotel room at midnight, to sing them to sleep); seeing clients in inappropriate settings (face to face session in restaurants, cars etc); dropping 'out of contact' from clients for weeks on end with no explanation (which is devastating for those who have attachment trauma), and a multitude of other inappropriate and unethical actions over a period of many years. The order below by the Australian Health Complaints Commissioner states that she is supposed to post a copy of the prohibition order on her website, but as far as I can see there is not one there.

From the link posted below:

"KATHY LARRENE BROADY TODD
Provider type: Psychotherapist
Prohibition type: Interim prohibition order
Effective from: 15 MAR 2021 to 15 JUN 2021
Kathy Larrene Broady Todd, trading as ‘Discussing Dissociation’, also known as Kathy Broady, is a general health service provider in Queensland, who provides in-person, video and telephone counselling and psychotherapy services. Following information provided, the Health Complaints Commissioner reasonably believes that Ms Broady Todd has contravened the Code of Conduct applying to general health service providers and that it is necessary to make an Interim Prohibition Order (IPO) to avoid a serious risk to public health, safety and/or welfare.

This interim prohibition order was a continuance of a previous one, shown here: Kathy Larrene Broady Todd | Health Complaints Commissioner

The sad thing is that she has a lot of really helpful information posted on her website. But she is not a "safe" person for individual therapy, or to give your money to.
