Had to fire another therapist today

Post Reply New Topic

She said one something to me that was incredibly offensive, inappropriate and triggering. I responded by telling her that what she said to me was traumatic and I will now have to deal with that trauma. She told me that the way that I responded sounded angry and that I have to take responsibility for hurting her feelings. I fired her immediately.

Yeah.. doctors and therapists are just people with labels and they are gonna get defensive.

I also had a social worker ask about my love life to "see if it was the same as on big bang theory".

....

Good to see that somebody's fired a health professional. Too many people see them as some kind of authority.

I can't judge the merits of this case because I don't know what was said. But ultimately I think the customer is always right.

I remember when I fired one of mine 25 years ago.

I wish more people would have the courage to put these "professionals" in their places. So many of them are getting away with damaging and destroying vulnerable people.

Hopefully your next therapist is better,

When first started therapy , long ago ...Did not know could ask to change them ,put up with the first one for a year.
Seemed more interested in me listening to his life. Then went through 2 nd to 3rd quickly ...But kept the third for about 3 yrs. Good Mental Health to you on your mental health journey
