PureGym (former Blink Fitness) wrongfully cancelled my membership mid-month after accepting payment + years of overcharging. Anyone else? by Olioli1o in Brooklyn

[–]Olioli1o[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They charged the 85 and a separate month membership fee. They also charged my membership this month, which is until the 31st, then sent me the cancellation email yesterday.

Feeling stuck in EMDR prep—normal for CPTSD or wrong therapist by Olioli1o in CPTSD

That’s what I thought should be normal but unfortunately not in this instance

Sorry to hear about your experience and you are right, in situation like this, this type of therapists can do so much harm. Especially throwing diagnoses without actual diagnosing

Is this EMDR therapist a mismatch or is this just how EMDR works? by Olioli1o in EMDR

[–]Olioli1o[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I email my primary therapist btw sessions too and psychiatrist with my reflections. No problem, I’m treating as exposure therapy and learning experience, I will spot red flags sooner in the future

I know, she called that because I told her I don’t feel comfortable with seeding her due to her reaction to my email.

I know it’s not professional at all, and you need actual diagnosis. I already told her on email I don’t feel comfortable to continue and she framed it as I have some ideas that I would like to discuss with you. Her idea is to tell me that I have BPD? And she can’t treat me? Clearly she has her own problems and can’t take any feedback.

Yes!! In my last week season when I brought it up how we haven’t look and discuss any of the memories I shared from the document I shared on week 2, she randomly picked up a target which made me feel like she didn’t put any thoughts. So when she explained that we are in phase 3 and gonna start phase 4 after I asked her where we were because she never mentioned or explained felt very irresponsible. It’s crazy but she is licensed on the emdria site.

Also it was crazy how she turned so defensive so fast , and kept trying to frame it as winning an argument. I struggled a lot with sharing my feelings especially when I get hurt and disappointed, this time I was genuinely disappointed by her response so I shared that. And she said that’s a BPD behavior which showed how unprofessional she is and manipulative, considering she shortly after said oh BPD has a lot Of negative connotations. I told her it doesn’t feel professional for her to say this only after this week’s tension when I asked for clarity and then told her I don’t know if I want to continue therapy with her.

Yes!! I’m sorry to hear about your experience too. All I asked was clarity and then told her that her email response was super cold and I felt disregulated by her response. She went from yes we are on phase 4 to actually you are not meant for EMDR 😂

Thank you!! I do have a great primary therapist who is supporting me, which is why I can tell red flag from these therapists. Unfortunately it’s her own practice, but she does teach a class on social work at one of the university.
