From Milwaukee County police blotter:
====================
A 16-year-old Milwaukee girl was arrested on accusations of battery after her therapist at Alternatives in Psychological Consultation, 10045 W. Lisbon Ave., was attacked about 4:30 p.m. March 13. The therapist said her attacker beat her on the head with a clipboard, put her in a headlock, punched her head and pulled her hair. As the therapist yelled for help, her attacker kicked a door shut and slammed the woman's head against a door and wall. A co-worker stepped in before police arrived. The girl has been in trouble in the past for punching a school principal and beating a worker at another facility, according to police.

Every T I've had has ticked me off at some point or another -- but this is a wee bit overboard, no?!?!?!?

ey yi yi! I am glad I wasn't the T. Once my sister was in with a T and a gunman came in and held them hostage for hours finally letting my sister go. She simply left and went home. That easy, the police talked the guy down, a patient of the T's. I asked my sister if she ever spoke with police or with the T again and she said no. Talk about dissociation! That was her first and last attempt at therapy.

OMG --- that would scare me right out of therapy forever, too!!!!! Your poor sister!!!

[SeptemberMorn]

Yeah... there were a couple of times I wanted to slap my T soundly on the face... but I never did it!! YIKES!!

candybear lol you are so silly

Okay you guys, all my friends with thousands of people reading this site. I once put horse$*&^ on a newspaper and put it in T's mailbox. You see, she did more damage then good, was just a licensed social worker. Did not have a clue how to deal with me and made a statement about my competing with the mother and brother for his attention. She was so screwed up, she would give 5 min notice and cancel appointments. She was obviously not good in the field at all but it took seeing my current T who is very good at trauma work to realize the damage the first had done. I thought the horse stuff was the perfect metaphor.

By the way, I have NEVER felt like doing anything mean to curent T and we go back a long ways. She is integrity and acceptance, professionalism and ethical. Can you tell I really like her?

[lenjan]

OMG, I shouldn't be laughing, but I am!

I have been fortunate in that I haven't ever had a T that I wanted to do that to -- but assorted other people in the medical field -- oh my, YES!

No guts, though. Glad you had them for me! LOL

LMAO! You go, Girlfriend!

[Genevieve]

but where did you get the horse manure?

Obviously the T failed with the girl and anger management.

[Hopefull]

I am a little mad at last T because I don't think she ever pre-certified anything. The pre-certify line was like who are you when I said that I was changing "mental health providers." I'm like eh, you paid for two sessions already. You should know me. I still don't know if I might eat some bills. As for wanting to slap her, no. She irritated me only a few times because she was blunt. She made me feel like I was on the wrong end of a blunt object. I don't know the new T yet. I'm sure she will irritate me too. But, then I doubt that I could talk about childhood without some annoyance with whomever the conversation was with.

Horse crap was from the road near a horse farm. Anger management? Huh!!!

I hadn't been in therapy a long time until recently. So I go to this T. who has been in practice 20 years. My main issue with her is she would "flip-flop" on everything she said...PLUS never address the issue for which I sought her: anxiety.

In the 5 visits I had with her (remember I presented myself asking to work with my anxiety) she:

**Wanted to see a list of my meds, then spent one entire session clucking her tongue and shaking her head

**Asked to see photographs of the man I last dated and made some "pronouncements" on what his psychological issues were (okkkaaayyyy...he's been out of my life for a year...still waiting to work on anxiety)

**Called one day to say she was taking some people 2 hours away for "horse therapy" costing $150. (Errrr, was Mr. Ed there?) I said with my income reduced while being on disability I could not afford that (never mind I didn't get the horse therapy part!!). Her answer: "Your mother cold pay for it!!!!"

**One visit she told me to start getting paperwork ready for SSI, etc. - Next visit she told me I would never get it because I'm too healthy. Another visit she told me to not go back to my job due to it contributing to making me ill; a couple weeks later she said to return to it.

ARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!

Anyone know a good therapist in Central FL?

[wisewoman]

No but I could probably help you find some horse poo.

[dottie]

Central florida. Oh Boy!!! (I come from Tavares/Eustis!!)That's certainly not good therapy. Oh...and you can qualify for disability. As long as you can prove that you cannot support yourself because of your illness. She is shoveling hogwash!! You deserve what you are paying soooo much for!!!!!!!
