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.
She basically asked me if I had incestuous feelings for my brother because he has been ghosting me and I am really struggling with that because we were very close and I really miss him.

She made it a point to say that I have to learn to take responsibility for what I say to people.

Congrafulations on firing her :? What was she thinking, that she can say anything to you and you won't get angry? It's ridiculous how some of them shift blame. Unfortunately I have had very similar situations in the past with therapists, such therapy doesn't make sense, does it? It's supposed to help, not retraumatise or provide additional trauma. This profession requires a level of sensitivity that a lot of therapists don't have and taking responsibility for your own words. (What a perfect projection on her part :roll: )

Could someone who went to graduate school please answer this question for me:

When you go to graduate school, don't they teach you DON'T DO OR SAY THESE THINGS???

The therapists are supposed to be highly educated people, who paid a lot of money for school and are the graduate schools just popping a lot of movies in class like in a high school?

Yeah, they do teach to not say these things

So many of them are getting away with damaging and destroying vulnerable people.


This is awful! AFAIK they are accountable to no one and I don’t know how to report them for malpractice or outright quackery!

It's a shame they don't have user reviews and ratings on their websites. Still, if they did, the worst offenders would probably screen clients for brainwashability before taking them on in the first place, or fiddle with the software so that bad reviews wouldn't stick when the Send button was posted. But maybe I'm just too cynical.
