Reported My Therapist

Glad you have got Hank with you and binge watching TV can be an awesome distraction and entertaining as well.

Top marks for not listening to the ruminations in your head.

When I was 14 years old I was admitted to an adolescent inpatient psychiatric unit. I had a sexual...

Wow, good for you, someone like that needs to be reported. You were only 14? Just horrible to think that someone in that profession would abuse a patient like that.

Guilty.

She was found guilty.
Guilty of having had a sexual, personal financial relationship both when I was a patient and then afterwards. There were more charges but these were the prominent ones.

Guilty.

Her license was revoked. She was ordered to attend a reprimand and I think I will be there for that. I don't want to see her but now I want to just be there while they read out what she did and I will be there to remind her of what she did and that she didn't get away with it.

She lied and her testimony read like a very bad sic fi novel - I think even her own lawyer saw through it.

Guilty.

And now she has time to appeal which the prosecutor said is unlikely given she has to have very specific grounds which do not appear to be there.

Regardless...

Guilty.

My head feels light and my stomach feels flippy. I am happy and I feel something has been resolved and I can move on.

If I had faith in therapists the irony is that her association will pay for my therapy!

Thank you all again for all your support. Hearing your words and feeling the support made a night and day difference for me. I have never met any of you but you made such a difference as I went through this.

I think Hank and I will have a special treat tomorrow. Just thinking of what I will do to celebrate. None of the people here know I did this and it feels ok that way. Hank knows. I know.

Guilty.... Wow....

Congratulations @City Slicker!

Thank you so much @Ms Spock.

You were extremely brave! I really felt for you going through the process and that was great that you got a good result! Even if you didn't get justice the act of actually standing up for yourself was an amazing and inspirational.

That is such good news.

Well done! (And it's really nice to see that sometimes the system works the way it's SUPPOSED to!) That had to have been a difficult road. Well done! :)

@City Slicker - I am so happy for you, and so glad that the right thing happened. Even if the outcome had been different - your actions still would deserve validation. But it's really awesome when the world validates our actions as well.

I'm glad you're considering going to the reprimand session. It might be very therapeutic for you, actually.

Congratulations @City Slicker - so happy for you! You have shown such courage, strength and determination throughout this process.

And I agree with @joeylittle that perhaps attending the reprimand session will be validating and therapeutic for you. That said, it's probably wise to go with your gut on that once it comes to that point.

A treat for you and Hank is totally deserved!
