My therapist was unethical

Thanks emily,

I just sent off my letter of complaint last week. Can you tell me what was involved after you sent in your complaint. I can't believe that was all he got for what he did to you.

I hope, as well as his probabtion, his malpractice insurance sky rocketed!!!!!!!!

I got papers from the APA to fill out for my complaint against my 1st T. I stated to look up dates for things using a web site like this one, where I wrote about all my experiences with my 1st T.

Well after going through almost 2 years of postings, I am feeling so sad and yet I read the happy things too that happened. My current T says it is good that I can feel both emotions for my old T, that not everything is black and white.
It is just so hard to read those 2 years of my life. I feel so disillusioned by what he did and I just can't believe I fell for it.
It is all very overwhelming to do this, but I feel I must, it is the right thing to do.

Wow,

I have read through many of the posts here and it's been an affirming experience for me. Your bringing up your experience exoticeflower, all of the wonderful responses you got, have helped me.

I had a theRapist who took advantage of me. Nothing ever got physical and after 4 months I stopped seeing him, but that experience triggered a whole set of circumstances that were a long downward spiral for me, mental health wise.

Being a victim (at the time, no healing had started yet, I now consider myself a survivor) of childhood sexual abuse, I totally blamed myself for what happened. It took me many, many years and having the experience of therapy with healthy counselors, to finally realise and accept that HE WAS TOTALLY AT FAULT. Yes, I was mixed up, confused, and one sick puppy, but he took advantage of that and really messed with my mind.

I'm sorry for the pain you are going through and I am so impressed with the steps you are taking to heal yourself! Good for you! I just wanted to let you and others here know how much reading all this has helped me. Thanks.

Thanks Pomegranate,

I am sorry you went through this too. I know I went into a deep depression after I fired him. I even spoke to my doctor about it. I am thinking I should get a statement about my mental health during this time, to show the harm he caused.

I agree so many posters have said some very wonderful and supporting things. This is going to be a journey for me and I hope it will give me some resolution for standing up against what he did.
It sounds like it might take me awhile to finally believe it is all his fault, but with therapy, I am getting there.
