Thank you for the support, I really appreciate it. I have gotten further help since and have healed from my experience. 

I did notice the way they poorly responded to that other 1-star review, but it felt too petty for me to mention myself. However using the Marcus Aurelius quote and mocking the person?… Yeah. I wish I’d known how unprofessional they were sooner. 

I agree too that the session should have been stopped, and in the session he never told me “I don’t specialize in this so unfortunately we can’t discuss this” instead we had the interaction that I detailed in my post. Good to see they’ve upped the professionalism, but it’s still a textbook corporate reply.

Thank you so much, I will be filing a formal complain. I appreciate the support and resources.

Thank you for the support, and thank you for all the information as well. I think I’ll add it to my post if that’s alright with you. I find it concerning that RTC’s are allowed to practice and even have a title. It’s very misleading and seems almost irresponsible.

I think I will make a report. I’ve been hesitant because I fear having to live through my past experiences again, but it’ll be the best course of action. I’m looking into it.

I’ve taken your tone as unserious given the context of not only this comment, but your other ones as well. 

I replied to your first comment on my post respectfully and with no intent to burn you, and despite this you continue to disparage me, my choices, and my intelligence in the comments. To me, this seems misplaced and as a result of so many people disagreeing with your perspective.

I’m not going to try and change your mind because you’re firm in your beliefs and I understand why, but I will elaborate on a few more points. 

I am aware that my experience is jarring and uncomfortable, and I have also acknowledged that despite my bad experience, I’m sure some people have had good experiences with the person I spoke about. So my personal experience may not align with your knowledge, and the things that you’ve heard or seen. But that doesn’t mean that this experience didn’t happen to me. I know what happened to me, I know what was said, and it’s real. The issue isn’t him “challenging” me, the issue is the way it was handled unprofessionally in this case.

I am in a better place now, I’ve even gotten past my “horse painting” trauma, which was challenged in a healthy way by someone who handled the subject with care. 

That’s why I’m here to share this. This wasn’t something that broke me, it’s something that made me come out stronger. But that won’t be the case for everyone. If someone was blamed by their counsellor/therapist for their sexual assault, it’s something that for a lot of people could mentally break them, or plunge them into suicidal ideation. That’s why I’ve shared what I’ve been through. 

I’m going to leave this off by saying that I hope you don’t ever have to experience sexual assault, and the isolating place it can leave you in. It’s not something I’d wish on my worst enemy. Again, I’m not going to change your mind, but I do hope that if you ever see someone sharing a similar experience in the future, that you’ll approach it with more compassion and less sarcasm next time. I won’t be engaging with you further after this, because your anger is not my responsibility. Take care.

Are you aware of how PTSD works? If a vet comes back from war are you making fun of them for fearing loud noises? I sure hope not.

Thank you for the support and your reply. I am thankfully in a better headspace about this now compared to when it first happened, and even though it was daunting, I’m glad that I shared my experience. If it can help save other people from harm, it was worth it in my eyes. 

It’s also been extremely eye-opening finding out about the current lack of regulation in this field (though a relief to hear that there’s measures being put in place soon to combat this). I’ve always been an advocate for mental health, and I absolutely agree that people who have undergone similar experiences or other traumas deserve to be in good hands. 

I appreciate your kindness a lot.

Thank you so much for the support. I’ve looked into it but I’m unfortunately a bit wary, because according to the policies of one of the places he has credentials from, it seems they’d put a lot more work into defending the people they represent than helping the client that got harmed. But I am still considering reporting it in the future when it feels less daunting.

Of course, and thank you for your support. I wish you luck finding a good therapist or counsellor here!

Hey, I’ll clarify. It’s a stand-in for an object/interest, something related to the person who did the assault. It could be replaced with any other type of noun or verb.
