Thank you so much. I can't believe I made it. The message board posts here actually turned out to be a major part of the case.

I remember you ramona, I read your posts for quite a long time. Thank you so much for posting an update, I'm so glad to hear this. I really felt for you, because I know that because of transference clients are vulnerable to this kind of mistreatment. Transference can feel bigger than life. You have been so brave. (In the past when I've said that someone was brave, they've corrected me and said it was horrible and they were terrified and they weren't brave - but I think when things are frightening and awful that is exactly when we are brave to persevere.) Good for you and I hope something happens to protect his future clients as well. Wishing you and your family the very best.

I definitely remember you...because I, also, was leaving my unethical therapist.
I'm so...so...so glad that you've come out on some other side & are still here & sounding a lot healthier. I know that hell.... |

I agree, you sound a lot healthier. I have often wondered what happened. I mostly lurk these days. I have even found myself looking back on this thread just to see if you'd posted and I missed it. I am glad you were able to break away.

I look back on the way things were and I'm so scared. You guys were the first ones to tell me something was wrong.
With the miserable "treatment" and then the lawsuit it's been just under 6 years that this creep has been in my life. He definitely still haunts me and I'm definitely changed forever by what happened. I am doing everything I can to try to hold him accountable, because everyone I've told says this is likely something he does all the time and that he is very unlikely to stop. He was so remorseless. It terrifies me how low the standards are for therapists. Please everyone be VERY careful. |

It will be interesting to hear what the licensing boards say. Not to pry, but did you like file a civil suit? I wonder what the licensing board will make of his loss or plea there.

Hi Ramona, so nice to hear from you! I posted quite a lot to you during those times in the past - you may not find them under my name as I closed that account at some point and opened this new one - but I was very much rooting for you to come out of it somehow as a winner

Yes I filed a civil lawsuit. It went on for 20 months and for extremely complicated reasons I agreed to take a settlement just before it went to trial. Any judgment over a certain amount of money gets reported to the licensing boards and mine was above that amount. I ended up reporting him a few months before the settlement because I was worried about the statute of limitations running out and then the boards got the settlement information a couple months later.

I am so glad to hear that you are free from this terrible situation and that you won. I hope the board follows through as well. I am praying he loses his license. He shouldn’t go on unpunished for what he did primarily because he likely does it to others. He needs to be stopped. I am glad you are doing better in everything in your life. Hugs.

Since your settlement makes the judgement reportable, I hope the boards act on it and revokes his license. Not much consolation but if he continues to practice, the report should really ding his malpractice insurance premiums. |

He is the worst thing that ever happened to me, and I have had a lot of terrible things happen to me. The system is heavily stacked in favor of therapists and against patients who speak out. It is so sickening and heartbreaking, but it is true. I am incredibly lucky that I have gotten this far. |
