I had the same Therapist for 3 yrs. and all was well, we got along great and l was able to open up to her about things from my past that l myself did not really even know until they were triggered from flashbacks and she gave me exercises to do when l had panic attacks, so little by little l gave her my trust and l feel l was doing better.
So along the way, last year she said she saw a really good improvement in me and saw me only when there were things in my life that came along that l could not handle on my own such as being raped by a boyfriend, or being harassed by people l thought had been friends before the rape, making app'ts for me when she knew the Dr's and l did not,etc, so now this year, she started calling me from Walmart or other places saying she would do Therapy over the phone while she was getting an oil change or getting her child's teeth done at the dentist so she could get most of her things done in the day. l was a bit dissapointed ,but that started to become the norm, so l did not say much.
l started to become the victim of stalking and it was the gf of my ex and she would come everynight and and do something such as lighting firecrackers near my bedroom window or get some friends together and scream rape or throw garbage on my balconey, and since l am involved in charging the Ex with rape, it is active within the police and so they told me to call if something was wrong and so l did.
Well one officer that l knew came over and said that he did not see anyone out in the back of where l live and l said everytime that l called, she left just a min. or two before they got there, and he started asking me if she came when l called her, or did she come out from under the bed , or the closet and l looked at him with a sarcastic grin and then realized it was not a joke and said, "You think l am crazy don't you?" and he said, "in the statement you gave about the rape, you said you had problems sleeping and maybe you are just overtired and are imagining things.' and l pointed to the footprints in the snow and said, "Am l imagining those?" He asked for proof and l said next door and l don't get along with the neighbors but they were getting some of the same problems and they denied it to the police so l looked nuts and he said they told him there had never been a problem in the back and l said , l would not be wasting their time if there was no problem.
About half an hour after they left my Therapist called and she was not rude, but very cold and asked me what l was doing to which l replied, "What is this about?" and she relayed that the Police had called her and talked to her about forcing me into the Hospital and she asked if l was trying to ruin her Holiday which was coming up in a few hours time.
l told her what happened and she said that what she had told the Police was that l was under alot of stress and that she had the decision to make whether l was going into the hospital or not, to which l then said, "Who gave you permission to talk to the Police?" and she said, "Oh, l just assumed you gave permission when you were talking to him." and l said no l had not and l had not talked to him about my dr. he brought up my statement about the rape and what l had said.
She immediately got very defensive and said, "Well, who is to say you have not been lying to me all this time?" and l said to her, "ln three yrs. if l was lying, don't you think l would have slipped up by now or you would have known me well enough to see through me?" l said what you have just said to me now, is not only unprofessional, but cruel, but it shows me a side to you that l don't like , l don't trust and l don't want to see you as my Therapist anymore.
She got off the phone and l called back a few days later to talk to her Supervisor, l talked to the Secretary who knew me and the case and said she would pass on the message and when he called back,he was asking me some questions which were different then what she had on her notes such as never talking to the police or threatening to have me put in the Hospital and then l told him if you want the story just ask the secretary and he said she does not know anything and l told him, l was talking to her, her name is Jacky and she told me the Therapist was so mad, she was telling her what a bitch l was and the story of how l got her in trouble and he said none of the staff is to be talking about patients ever and he said that cannot be true and he asked for her name again and l told him, he said could l hang on, l did, and a few min. later, he came on the phone, apologized for everything that had taken place and assured me that this would be dealt with and asked if l would like to see another worker and l said , no because if l had to deal with this again l don't this l could handle it emotionally and he promised me that he would personally deal with the two persons involved and get back to me on this because it was a breach of privacy which was not allowed in the workplace.
At least l can say, l trust the Supervisor there because he felt terrible and wanted to reassure me in correcting the mistakes they made, but that is the end of my Therapy now.
