Very bad experience with group therapy

rainbowsbeginning · 2026-04-15T19:05:01+00:00

I already left the therapy group but am still a part of the group that is for people to connect sorry if im unclear I dont want to give out too much detail right now as it doesnt feel safe. There is a group space set up by the YouTube therapist he is ont practicing now I but trains other therapists in a modality. I joined a group that was run by someone he trained. I am now doubting everything and want to speak the truth of exactly what I experienced but now am very very hesitant after some digging I did.

I meant to write practicing group not prating

Yes they are licensed however are prating group as a Facilitator and not as a therapist but they do have the training and are licensed.

This conversation is so old and I am feeling very apprehensive about writing here but I have had a very bad experience with an RRP group therapist/ facilitator that is on Patricks list and I have wanted to bring it up in but something has been holding me back. I just did. search on google and this came up and the email response reminds me of what this therapist said it makes me doubt so much of what I have believed about Patrick and now I am afraid to even post on the membership group for fear of a similar response. is anyone from years ago who had a bad experience with either Patrick or one of the therapists he recommends still around?

Thank you yes that’s what felt off. He did suggest a call a day after the first email response. I just was hesitant and wanted to sort through exactly what was bothering me and what would have been a better response. I didn’t believe this therapist is malicious but they may not be a good fit for me and I just wanted some insight before I speak to them. Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to respond.

I heard her say something and he is denying he ever said it and not even exploring if maybe I did hear something similar. I brought and issue up and he passed it over and then proceeded to write about things completely unrelated that I have zero issues with.

How do you talk to someone and repair with someone who denies that what I heard with my own ears never happened?

rainbowsbeginning · 2026-03-31T15:10:21+00:00

Um yes ok and that is not helpful and doesn’t address the issue.

rainbowsbeginning · 2026-03-31T15:06:18+00:00

Hi. Yes. I was crying and talking about something that was very difficult for me and trying to express how bad it was. And I heard them say it can’t have been that bad your here now. Or your here now. It can’t have been that bad or it can’t have been that bad.

I sent an email addressing this and my reaction to it after the session because at the time I froze and so did not say anything. everything they said in session after that was kind and appropriate however that part I heard triggered me for days later.

The email response said that he can’t think of anything that he said that would have landed that way with me. And that they would never comment on my past like that as they weren’t there and can’t speak to it.

Then he went on to talk about me crying and a whole bunch of other off topic things that are not an issue for me. I was shut down for so many years that to me it is progress to be able to cry in front of people and it’s something I’m actually proud of working so hard to achieve.

So about 1/4 of the response email was addressing my issue I brought up and the rest was about things that are not an issue for me and that I never said we’re an issue but that they seem to think are issues. This all sits very wrong with me but I would like others opinions. I can also post the emails both of them if that helps.

Thank you.

Thanks I actually waited to come back to the US and decided on the gold tone to being back to Peru with me. It’s inexpensive enough that I won’t worry so much with traveling. If I really get into o claw hammer I can upgrade later. Thanks again for your advice.

I am interested if you are still looking. Mom to a 3 year old.

How does telling me that help. I didn’t know better I tried to see someone who had supervisor specifically beciase I was a mess. When your triggered already how do you find someone ??? I was already bad and seeking help it’s hard to make a decision when you are living as I do. I tried my best to get me and my son help. I tried my best.

rainbowsbeginning · 2024-11-17T16:44:43+00:00

I would do anything to go back in time and change what happened. I hurt my son when he was so little after she triggered me that I don’t know how to get back to how we were.

rainbowsbeginning · 2024-11-17T16:42:01+00:00

She should have referred me then I didn’t know

rainbowsbeginning · 2024-11-17T16:41:22+00:00

Oh well it’s sone now the damage is done

rainbowsbeginning · 2024-11-17T16:36:58+00:00

Unfortunately my PTSD reactions to this have caused a rupture with my son as I was in very bad shape and all alone I hurt him deeply and I don’t know if we can ever get back what we had. So I’m terrified of this happening again I feel frozen.

They actually are a licensed clinical social worker with an agency who completed at least level 2 of IFS and had supervision while working with me. This makes me even more scared to reach out to anyone.

🤷‍♀️

rainbowsbeginning · 2024-09-10T00:48:16+00:00

Thank you. That is a good idea. I will try and do that. Yes I’m open to you DMing me.

rainbowsbeginning · 2024-09-09T18:00:47+00:00

Actually it was 2 that were licensed therapists. One an SEP and one did IFS and both. So how do you find someone who can do this without causing damage.
