trying to write up a complaint regarding ex-t. but i need help matching what she did wrong, to the specific ethical codes she violated. I have to say it intelligently, that she did something besides not liking me anymore and letting it show.

If I just write it without the codes I doubt I'll be taken seriously.

I told her I thought she should be punished for hurting me, for causing grievous emotional harm, even if she didn't mean to as she claimed. She said she disagrees, she only ever tried to help me.

But I made a bad joke that didn't mean any harm and she took it negatively and it destroyed our relationship and she spent the next two years punishing me for it. Without me having intended to hurt her.

So I feel like her motivation doesn't matter, only the outcome of her actions, which have hurt me tremendously.

Maybe try to look up your country's/province's ethical standards for T's? And then go from that? Like in the US, they're licensed by state boards, so you could find guidelines on those sites. Or look at Canada's equivalent of the American Psychological Association.

Maybe try to think of exactly why you're filing the complaint. Is it largely due to abandonment?

I printed a list of 25 traits of narcissistic parents and then wrote examples of how they met those points so it wasn't just my feeling but fact of what happened. I thought you already knew how she broke violations? Are you just hurt? Are you looking to punish her?

Boundary violations with the holding and massaging, creating excessive dependency via the touch in session and daily emails, then cutting it off abruptly.

Inconsistency, no treatment plan, fraudulent billing (billing insurance for face to face sessions when it was over email), continuing treatment past the point where it could be beneficial to me (when she began to strongly dislike me and let it show ie rejection) And yea maybe an improper termination. But I saw her notes to my insurance: for the month before she terminated me she was telling them I was stable. To lay foundation for the termination but it isn't true, bc I wasn't stable she was lying. I don't know that I can disprove what she was saying unless they allow me journal or our session recordings as evidence bc I wasn't emailing her during that time.

I can say it fine, I mean I need help matching it to a specific code, the way it needs to be to be filed.

Where I live, to be a registered therapist, you have to agree to a certain code of conduct. That code of conduct is available free of charge to anyone who wants to read it. I requested it and had it shipped to me free. It was a detailed point by point list. If you're state has something like that, you could go one by one through the issues and how they apply to each part of the code.

You can contact these people who also have helpful reading on their web site.

Your state should have some kind of Behavioral Health Professional board that overlooks licensing and hears complaints. If you find their website, there will probably be a list of rules and the numbers for each, and you can list the ones violated. If not, their website should have a phone number, and you can call.

States also maintain public databases on therapists' license status. Might be interesting to look her up and see if there have been previous disciplinary actions.

You've probably already thought of this, but the complaints that will carry the most weight are insurance fraud, no treatment plan, and improper termination. I'd put those first. And if your state is anything like mine, the therapists' notes are subject to the board's investigation.

Insurance fraud is the only that can be objectively shown, otherwise is client vs therapists's word.

The only notes she has is the bit required by insurance to request another ten sessions.

True, but I said "carries weight" not "objectively shown." Rhetorical, not legal advice.

[InRealLife45]

Will they allow the recordings as evidence?
