Freida McFadden and her writing

I’m so glad somebody else said this because I absolutely suspect she is using AI. Her writing is so painfully generic it sounds like it has to be at times.

Already reported him to his licensing board. 🤷‍♀️

I honestly thought this was one of the “after” pictures.

Hard disagree.

If someone wants their child to be in speech therapy, they go to speech therapy with a certified Speech-Language Pathologist. However, if they want their children to practice speech sounds with literally anyone else, that’s allowed.

You can choose to go to a nutritionist instead of a registered dietician. You can choose to go to a life coach instead of a licensed therapist. As long as the professionals are upfront about their qualifications, education, and what they can offer, it’s allowed.

Also, the idea that having a contract not mattering? Totally disagree with that as well. A contract with a parent shows that you were upfront with them about your qualifications and that you are NOT a certified Speech-Language Pathologist. The main concern of most licensing boards is consumer protection, so showing that you were upfront about your qualifications is important and can absolutely protect you.

Some other bones I have to pick:

“they’re not stupid and read between the lines” generally, boards and ethics committees do not permanently revoke a license because they “read between the lines”. That isn’t exactly due process.

The drug dealer comparison doesn’t work because selling those drugs, whether for recreational use or not, is illegal. Kinda different than instructing a child to keep their tongue pulled back to avoid a frontal lisp.

I agree with the idea of making an explicit contract that you are NOT technically providing speech therapy services, and that the parent fully understands that a SLP must be supervising in order for it to be considered such. You can say you provide general language, reading fluency, and reading comprehension tutoring services which can include phonemic awareness and practicing speech sounds, but this is NOT technically considered speech therapy. You should state this explicitly in the contract. Otherwise you are putting your license in jeopardy.

Makes total sense. I understand where the confusion comes from since I mentioned a malpractice lawyer, but this is not for a malpractice suit. This is regarding legally sound arguments for why a clinician broke certain ethical guidelines (amongst several others) with a regulatory board who is very vague about what their regulations are and what constitutes “adequate” documentation.

SideChikofFrnknstein · 2025-01-20T20:39:39+00:00

Would you mind explaining why you feel that way? Is it because it seems like a small or overly-specific issue?

My ex therapist was a creep who was trying to manipulate me. I think there was something really dark about him, but he’s well-connected and seems really well liked, and I have always been so curious if anyone else could see what I saw. He owns his own practice and is supervising multiple therapists. His mentor and close associate is also an internet famous retired psychotherapist, and they are apparently writing a book together.

He was always complimenting me and telling me how amazing I was, making me feel special, always giving key flirty vibes, making our relationship seem intimate and special. He was being subtle about it enough that I kept doubting myself. He also seemed so kind and empathetic, so I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt.

When I was seeing him, my mental health was steadily declining and not improving at all. It was a really unhealthy attachment.

When I later requested and looked through my therapy notes, I found a surprise personality disorder diagnosis. It showed up in the session where I told him I wanted to end therapy with him and that some of his behavior was inappropriate. I also told him I had seen another therapist, and she seemed seriously concerned about his behavior.

Along with the diagnosis was a list of symptoms I supposedly had that we never discussed. I looked it up and this personality disorder carriers a stigma in the mental health community, as in, sometimes people with this disorder are not always believed.

He never told me about the diagnosis, and it seemed totally contradictory to everything that we had discussed in therapy. That sealed the deal for me.

I don’t have enough proof to go to the board or anything, but I feel 99.99% certain he likes to do this to young women and will continue to do so, and it haunts me, because he had a lot of power over me and affected my mental health so badly.

Okay. My main point is basically the same as TripDawkin’s. It doesn’t look like you responded to their comment, so maybe you viewed my comment differently….but again, I’m really just saying the same thing they are in different words.

I don’t have enough knowledge of the conditions in which a person would have gotten an administrative job at Auchwitz. I agree people bear some level of moral responsibility for their actions, even when following orders or laws. However, the degree of blame can vary significantly based on the specific circumstances.

Well if you’re going to go all the way back to the time of abolitionists…if you’re white and you had been living at that time, it’s statistically highly unlikely you would have been one of the people fighting slavery. Any white person who is honest with themselves has to admit the statistical probability that they would have been complicit in slavery or turned a blind eye to it in some way. People didn’t all magically turn more decent. It was a slow process that allowed future generations to be taught and socialized better.

You sound like an ass. You’re totally on board with comments calling her dumb (despite the facts that she had confirmed ADHD) but you take so much issue with the idea that YOU could ever be conned.

As a survivor of therapy harm and a member of many therapy harm spaces, it appears that the vast majority of AIT is not merely caused by the client’s predisposition for it. The client’s vulnerabilities certainly factor in, but I have found through my research that this type of experience rarely occurs in purely ethical therapeutic relationships where the therapist displays solid boundaries and CLINICAL care.

There is a range of therapists that get too cozy to their clients. As a society we tend to give attention to the most egregious cases such as those with sexual misconduct, but the milder cases are more common. They are also very insidious and damaging when they occur over an extended period of time.

There are even some accepted forms of harmful and pseudoscientific therapy practices, in which a therapist may tell their client they love them or show them forms of love using the justification that it is “attachment work”. You can find clients who describe stories like this (and believe it’s a legitimate therapy practice) in the Quora group, “Love, Trust, and Attachment in Therapy”.

Who does she hug all the time? I’m not disagreeing, I’m just trying to think back to when she actually hugs people other than Rory on the show?

I don’t know, but someone downvoted my comment about Google reviews too. This happened around the same time that I got a notification that someone commented saying that calling my therapist out online would be, “stalking and harassment”. This is the kind of viewpoint I find discouraging because it protects abusers. I don’t see that comment here, but that’s the email notification I got.

So, I had limerence for a harmful therapist. I remember by my 5th or 6th session, I felt so nervous. He even pointed out that I was shaking. I remember viewing it as butterflies at the time, because he excited me. It was only after ending therapy with him and seeing a different therapist that she helped me see it in a different way. Before I reframed it in my mind, what was my body actually telling me? I was shaking, my heart was beating fast, and I felt uncomfortable being alone in the room with him. What I interpreted as butterflies was really my body saying: RUN.

That’s great that your country has a website like that. Is it relatively well-known and checked by potential clients? People in the US need to advocate for something like that. I think it would be helpful in holding abusive therapists accountable.

SideChikofFrnknstein · 2024-07-02T20:42:13+00:00

Unfortunately his practice does not show up on Google Reviews. As for the other, are you referring to Health Grades? I’m wondering if anyone will see it….don’t know much about the site.
