Hi again C,

I logged on here the day after Christmas to try to file down some of the holiday triggers. It's so helpful being here, isn't it? Jus reading, posting, and for me mostly listening rather zaps me back to being able to fuction as a person for the day instead of a PTSD sufferer. No idea why, it's just what seems to transpire when visiting the forum. My point being that of course, it's not therapy, but it is healing for a lot of reasons as you know. Being here while looking for another T is just a really positive thing to have done for yourself.

I wished to comment on something you said a few posts ago about wishing to be able to report a dangerous therapist. THAT is something I hadn't thought of, and it's such a valid point! If I could report my alcoholic, abusive trauma surgeon husband ( mercifully deceased) to the AMA, why can't one report dangerous therapists to some agency? They are equally deadly, and although of course agencies never 'believe' one's reports right off the bat they do eventually investigate some cases. You're entirely correct in that someone less resiient than you could certainly be incredibly badly harmed by this person!

Thanks for that thought. For me, being able to think in a positive direction builds energy with which to function. The thought of being able to take postive action towards those who have harmed us is really enabling.

I hope you are having some peace with this, and thanks again,

Anni

Hi Anni,

I got some suggestions, and will see what I can do with them, so she can't hurt someone else. I had actually heard a group of people bad-mouthing her for being on a high horse and acting superior and giving bad advice, but I'm stubborn so I kept going. I'll see what I can do, if I can do something. It's hard for me to confront her though, I'm a pleasing-type and saying no is a challenge most times.

I hope court isn't involved, since my memory's a bit hard to pin down sometimes, and my boyfriend is pretty much the one that remembers what I said when I told him and that's the best I can do.

We'll see, thank you again everyone!
