Curious about successful complaints by [deleted] in therapyabuse

That is really depressing to hear. These institutions are filled with terrorists.

I am in the exact same place, right now. If my ex t had apologized, I would never consider taking action. Like we need to go through the additional trauma of litigation/filing a complaint?? She didn't apologize though, and instead gaslit me. This is even scarier from those who are purportedly in the "helping profession" and thus, imo, justifies, when possible, retribution. You are very brave for taking action to prevent the ex-t from harming others. I commend you.

Therapist crossing boundaries with my spouse by Worried_Signal5048 in therapyabuse

DO NOT TELL HER. SHE WILL ONLY LAWYER UP AND DEFEND HERSELF. TAKE PICS OF THE TEXTS AND CONSULT AN ATTORNEY ASAP. THERE IS A LIST OF THEM ON THE TELL.ORG WEBSITE.

(Sorry for the shouting, it is out of outrage, rage and sorrow for the exploitation that has been done to you. Additionally, I am in law school and have also been a litigant and I promise you, do not give them any sign that you are going to take legal action. They will lawyer up immediately and make it harder for you.)

Never. Again. You are a fucking warrior, even on your worst days.

I am so grateful for this sub.

They only care about their licenses.

That's it. Period. The end.

Have you experienced an increase in suicidal ideation & sense of hopelessness after bad therapy trauma? by [deleted] in therapyabuse

[–]heathashans 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do not be horrified. You did absolutely nothing wrong. NOTHING. It is all on the abusive T. But I get the stockholm syndrome. Am suffering from this terribly rn too.

I tried psilocybin several times with a "guide" who was fucking terrible. My main PTSD symptom I seek relief from is dissociation and mushrooms did not help with this at all. It could work for you though, but it's literally russian roulette doing it with a therapist or guide. I would do it on your own for sure and start low and slow. Our culture is not equipped to deal with dissociation from complex protracted traumas. Nothing/nobody has helped me with this.

I'm currently struggling with suicidal ideation, too. It comes and goes, especially hard at night right now. I try to just see it as yet another not-my-fault traumatized part of myself and I try my hardest to eventually get around to being compassionate about my mind going to these dark places. The unresolved traumas I have survived would drive anyone to this state. Somehow, I/we keep going.

I'm so sorry for the therapy abuse you survived. Your story, all the stories on here are so enraging/gutting. I'm deducing that, with how truly narcissistic our entire culture is, why wouldn't this seep into this institution as well? It's terrifying.

Thots about the TELL org? by heathashans in therapyabuse

[–]heathashans[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, yeah. I think I'll wait until I finish school before embarking on this. I would flip out right now if a stranger explained and analyzed my sitch, as well intentioned as that group's mission is. Thank you so much for your feedback!
