my therapist yelled at me
My therapist told me there were only 2 reasons I could email them - 1) if I was feeling unsafe 2) rescheduling sessions/format of session
I replied and said okay, no more emails, but I said I could think of other situations where email was required, because some admin, like requesting info etc - needs to be done in writing
I didn't check, but apparantly he sent me a long, dysregulated email in response.
He then called me ( i didn't answer)
He called me an hour later ( i didn't answer).
Finally I thought, why is he calling me - he never does that? So I called back.
He answers (no greeting) - Yes, Eternalflower - and launches into an aggressive, threatening tirade, berating me - for
1) annoying him when he asked me to stop emailng him
2) also NOT emailing him when I had an attempt on my life last week
3) Going too extreme now and stopping email entirely - which he never said - he said only REASONABLE emails and when I'm unsafe
4) saying all drs are taught that they don't correspond with patients except in emergency
5) when i said I know my GP and I do correspond outside of sessions and so do other professionals i've worked with in the last few years, and all drs are different in my view -
6) he said if there's some wacky dr who doesn't keep the rules i shouldn't compare him to them, and he's told me to report such drs to AHPRA
7) asked me the name of these Drs and then added, "if they even exist"
😎 generally insulted me, saying i'm "rewriting the narrative" "playing games" etc
9) screamed at me violently for 28 minutes straight
10) asked for a written apology ?
yada yada yada
so yeah
therapy sucks ya'll and so does humanity.
