I read your previous posts and try to understand what you are reporting her for? It sounds as overall bad fit and I would find new therapist but I truly don't get it what you reporting her for and I doubt it would resolve anything. She sounds a bit weird but is it bad enough to get her fired or what are you trying to achieve?

I would do that if possible, but I'm not sure she would suggest it. So far she has not acknowledged receipt of my request.

Erm. Okay.

As a selection of dubious events, I would be talking about:

* Suggesting upping my sessions from one hour every five days to 6 - 8 hours a week, fostering an unrealistic dependency, then suddenly cutting me back down to one session a week with no tapering.

* Offering me her stuff and her sister's stuff to Ebay, with a split in profits, and getting hostile when I did not take up this offer.

* Offering me a job in the clinic as her Personal Assistant while continuing on as her client, and saying it would be good for both of us 'to learn about boundaries'.

* Telling me that as part of her 'charity scheme' a rich client had paid for one of my sessions, and offering me the money for it.

* Over-sharing inappropriate personal info - somehow, details of her breasts and her vagina both showed up in my therapy out of the blue, along with casual references to her sex life. Also dozens of references to her own serious mental health issues and family dysfunction, which made it impossible for me (the client) not to worry about her. Details of her family's mental health and trauma. Playing me a random video of her mother drunk or spaced out riffing about her children. Bizarro.

* Lots and lots of cancelling and rescheduling. I'm pretty easy going, but this shouldn't really be a regular event. Reasons including: her brother was in town and she wanted to see him, and her dog having a reverse sneeze attack and needing the vet. Now, I love my brother and I love dogs, but feel it was unprofessional to share these reasons with me.

* Making promises she was never in a place to make in the first place - again, that is really unprofessional. Saying we could always be close to each other, saying she would always be by my side, ad infinitum.

* Copying in the PA to a non-secure personal email address. Copying me by mistake into a thread discussing something in the clinic. Sending a mad text that London was under security alert to all her clients, that was an internet hoax.

* Terminating by text message. Wtf.

I'm sure there are a few more that I've ranted about on threads over the last year.

And just as an aside - no, I don't want to get her fired. That makes me feel like complete sh#t. I still love her and want her to be happy, but I have to weigh up the amount of crap she has had me wade through under her supposed professional services. I'm not a doormat, I won't passively shut the hell up because it's convenient - if I truly feel it is the RIGHT thing to do, then I will do it. And if - and it is a very big if indeed, as there are plenty of loopholes in the system - it tarnishes her career, that will not be MY fault. It will be her own fault, for making a balls of her job.

I have plenty of email evidence, yes.

Don't honestly know if she's in the wrong profession. Several times she has said of herself that she's very good at what she does, and she has a senior position in the clinic, and people I know in person love her. The thought of her being fired makes my flesh creep I don't know what she would do. Hopefully it would never come to that, she could do some continued professional development, and sign something to say she has to have more rigorous therapy of her own, or something. I dunno what happens but it's extremely rare for somebody to be struck off so hopefully there's middle ground.

She did let me down spectacularly, however great she may be for other folks.

I was only working two days a week at the time, and she was scheduling me on any of seven days, so we made it fit quite easily. Two hours at a time, three or four times a week. Was intense.

Surreal is an excellent word for it all.
