Not sure when to give up

[Justmehere]

The terrible discuss-your-health-on-the-sidewalk-therapist no showed. Third time ina row. It was scheduled as Telehealth, and she enevr sent a link. Eventually called and left a message stating I was misinformed and while they all agreed on Telehealth he she changed her mind and it’s in person only. Like she says that after the appointment she scheduled as Telehealth.

it’s getting comical how horrifically terrible she is at any of this. I mean really? Seriously?

There is no way I’m going in person around her after she repeatedly breeched privacy.

I’m struggling with walking away. I’m not sure that’s the right option. It turns out this is not the trauma team. They ripped me off that and put me on this one. No idea why. (Eff informed consent?)

I went back and listened to what happened on my phone and it’s worse than it first hit me. There were a lot of privacy issues and very demanding types of behavior.

What bothers me the most:
1.) They demanded loss of privacy and refused to state justification.
2.) They demand I just simply obey with no explanation for their demands. They asked me “don’t you want to get better?” Effing gaslighting isn’t fun.
3.) They justified stepping outside of area regulations for therapists by stating that even though they are a hired therapist, they hold a therapist license, they are making clinically significant decisions, they threaten to use the power of their license to destroy my freedom, and my appointments are scheduled as “supportive counseling”.,. They claim they don’t have to follow state regulations for therapists and I don’t have usual client rights because they declare the appointments after the fact to be “client advocacy” appointments.

I did see some of my records recently and they spell this out in them.

I call bullshit. So much bullshit. Am I going to do therapy with idiots who bullshit like this to my detriment? No. But it’s hard for me to not say wtf and demand change. Walking away and having no support now or in the future at this place may be better than what are this eff this is because it’s not support.

I filed with regulatory offices on this “client advocacy” BS. They opened up cases to investigate,

So I expect them to dump me as retaliation… I guess this is how I ended care.

Hm...or, if it were me, additional trauma, because bad or dismissive healthcare does that to me. I have been through similar disasters, and it ONLY resulted in weeks of trying to recover and a deepening of the distrust I already have.

Takes all kinds.

- I tend to vote with my feet, I have very little tolerance for fools. Exit Left.
- JMH tends to run things up the pole, first going to supervisors, & then supervisory agencies. Bottom Up.
- My bestie would be going straight to court to file on both the individuals in question, and their supervising bodies. Top Down.

Yep, I've done the first two. Do mostly the first now. Only once did going to superiors help--the psychiatrist I was seeing was fired. Unusual, in my experience.

I wish I had the strength to take some of these assholes to court!

I would take those recordings straight to a lawyer and sue their asses. f*ck 'em.

The only thing holding me back from court? My mental health records becoming public. However, I have intakes with two attorneys this week to see what they think.

Supervising bodies contacted. Cases opened. The agency will have some explaining to do,

One of their staff members said “you don’t deserve us.”

Nope. I don’t. No one deserves this hell.

A regulatory agency got very concerned and asked if I needed help telling them to leave me alone. I said yes. We both told them to leave me alone.

I’m still struggling to give up in my head.

A friend asked a therapist they know if they could see me a few times. They said yes. So I have someone to talk to about it all tomorrow.
