I once called a phone counselor and was told that I could call anytime! When I call I was threaten to have the police call and social services call on me and I was called horrible names because I had ask some help. Who I was referred to never took my health, or they were not qualified to help me with what I need or I did not meet their requirements.

What do you do when a T emails you 7 months after an unethical termination in order to make himself feel better ? It wasn't for my benefit. Jeez , these people.

What did he say? Did he invite a response or just try to shove something at you? Is he still practicing? If he is, or perhaps even if he isn't, I think if it were me I would send one. They may not be able to hear but that's not our responsibility. They need to start taking into account and dealing with the damage they do and all we can do is to try to get our message out there. (Oops, no pun intended.)

Tried to blame me for my own termination ( just like his boss did ) so just shoving it at me. He did get a response , but not the one I originally drafted. I think he's probably got the rather blunt message I sent. We can play the psychological game just as well as they can sometimes. And yes , he's still practising ( needs a lot more practice IMHO )

I speak for myself only
The pro for me was preventing my former t from sexually abusing other vulnerable clients Another pro was standing up for myself in the face of ongoing abuse. Knowing my worth. Feeling justifiably angry Being validated in that the board deemed my therapy abusive and revoked his license to practice permanently. Being financially compensated which provided the funds I needed for subsequent treatment that lasted almost 5 years . The cons were being investigated very thoroughly...in interviews as well as them taking my computer hard drive. Also the fear of possible litigation and having to testify in court Another con was the intense confusion and contradictory emotions following my report The biggest con was never getting closure, never knowing the truth, the why His wife divorcing him and taking their small children The fact that he is still living life and seems happy ... while I am the one suffering and sorting the immense damage he caused me. __________________ |

Just out of the blue. They should know better than to do this. I'm not here to make him feel better , or be his T. He knows things are wrong deep down and it's gnawing away at him I think. It's not like T's are immune to trauma bonding either , and that's the root of the problem from what I can see. I did send him a nice email back then , which he did not respond to , so FFS don't do it now.

In my case, I think the T contacted me and insisted because I exposed some serious sore spots in him and he probably felt very uncomfortable with that memory. I imagine that's why he tried to project and turn it all back to me, hoping that I would buy into that game and that the crap was coming from my distortions and transference. That surely might have given some relief to someone like him. But it did not work. He did not want to let me go even after the second ugly round though - that only demonstrates, to me, that he has serious issues controlling his own feelings. I have never had a similar experience with anyone else in my life before/after - just another proof that it wasn't my "repetition compulsion" at all. I could very easily see how he would be able to manipulate someone less skeptical and more agreeable and/or fearful. It was kinda fascinating and often almost unbelievable the, the sort of things that T did, in a creepy way of course. I sometimes still check out the Ts online activity (lots of social media) out of curiosity and I can see he has not changed a bit and keeps repeating the same things over and over, truly like a broken record. If anything, he has only gotten weirder. |

It is fascinating and unbelievable in a creepy way , but having some insight into it helps , I think. Still , very unprofessional and should have gone straight to supervision and/or his own therapy instead of ending up in my inbox. Regular T was not impressed with this either , totally agreed with me that therapists should know better.

what a way to f' with your head some more! you were all too kind to send him a nice email back. sounds like the only intentions he has are selfish ones to feed his own needs, as you already pointed out. best to stay away from the likes of him.... |

i went to these meeting for my own personal reasons of getting closure. i did get what felt like a sincere apology for many of the muck ups he made, and that really is all i was needing to help me put this experince behind me. but i did find it quite interesting at how he felt that he had to try and prove and defend himself at times. due to this, it has allowed me to see parts of him that i suspected existed when i was in therapy, but couldn't fully see until i stepped away and saw him from an entirely new perspective. i was finally seeing the real him and not the one i created or thought i had imagined through the enmeshment, projections, and transference that happened in therapy. |

hey...sorry for reviving a zombie thread, but jDNA, I wanted to ask...they took your hard drive because there was a criminal case involved, right? I ask because I'm considering filing a complaint against my ex-therapist, but I'm sooo not comfortable w/ them taking my computer hard drive... If the complaint was to the board and didn't involve a criminal matter, they won't take my hard drive, right? |

I, also, have over 200 emails (probably more like over 1,000) not to mention the texts (again, probably over 1,000) I pulled out of my Mac's archive files. My complaint isn't as severe, but now I'm scared. I don't want to turn over my mac. |

What exactly is your concern with them verifying things thru your hard drive

EDIT: oh, right, and I have my email history with my current therapist in there too. Our relationship is 1,000,000% ethical, but it's still hard to be like..."yes, I still require a shitcrapton of support from my therapist." But I guess I just have to be willing to be embarrassed. Edit again: And labeled as borderline, which is a really strong possibility. My ex-therapist already has a complaint and disciplinary action against him, and that woman's borderline personality disorder was seemingly blamed for a lot. I mean, fine, label me borderline. I guess whatever...I'm just going to have to be willing to be embarrassed. |

You can easily clear your browsing history, just make sure to do it in all the browsers you have used. But I wonder how many people these days don't have a good deal of various private device use histories that they wouldn't want to advertise? My guess is very few.

My T lost his position and at our last session, he tried to guilt me into starting a go fund me for T. I know T desperately needs the money. I have already anonymously given T some for a car repair. I feel manipulated. I feel I need to stop seeing this person but feel guilty because of the situation. I am unemployed but have savings.
