Breaking the Cycle. I cried when I read your first post it must be so diffcult to come to term with what happened to you. I was violently abused when I was a child & have only recently come to the conclusion that I will not solve my alcohol problem if I don't come to terms with my past

To cut a long story short, things came to a head with me at the weekend & I ended up in hospital (total embarrasment)....however I was given a call the next day asking if I needed / wanted counselling. On Monday (yesterday) I had a meeting with TWO counsellors ...one an alcohol specialist & we discussed how they could help, which brings me on to ...
BtC... I'm guessing that you are from the UK so I thought that the following might be helpful. I was given some information on all the help that is available & there is an organisation (non profit making) which specialises in therapy for cases such as mine (& yours?). To find then on the internet key in: Personal Recovery Service I'm not able to post the exact link They are based in the South West of England, although there may be other similar organisations throughout the UK. I don't know if this is helpful, but after years of not knowing what to do, I've maybe finally made the right contacts. I hope that this is of some help to you as well....good luck

What a f!#!#ing bitch she is - amazing. I have smoke coming out of my ears. I'd report her if it weren't for the fact that it would be a big negative for you to have to deal with. I'm torn also between the thought that you should move on and being incensed by the fact that someone like this is wreaking havoc on unsuspecting, vulnerable people who need her help. She should have her license revoked. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Tough call.

I am really sorry, but I would totally report her ass! She has no business counseling anyone! Holy shit, batman!

Seriously, BTC. You should report her. You are at the point in your life where you want to get well, and letting this piece of shit bring you down is not going to help you.

Take a stand! Report this nasty bitch's ass! This Bag of self-serving garbage needs to be addressed by her higher-ups.

One thing I love about all this is it has kick-started me into deciding I deserve better than that BITCH I already have a consultation with a new psychotherapist tomorrow. I also contacted an experienced and highly qualified psychologist and have arranged to have a session with her on Thursday to see if we 'connect.'

This woman I was seeing before is not a qualified psychologist - she's a former secretary who did a course in counselling. She has been doing counselling for a long time but I don't think she has that many qualifications. I like the idea of seeing someone who is actually a qualified psychologist so I do hope this one on Thursday will be good.

I just Googled the Personal Recovery Service. They look AMAZING. You are in very good hands with them I'd think I'm in London so they don't operate here unfortunately.

Good luck with your recovery!!!

She's got some kind of diploma and as far as I know she's been practising for at least seven years

:" WRITE YOUR OWN FUCKING ARTICLE THEN "

Absolutely! Wow. It sounds to me like she thinks she deserves a medal for taking you on as her charity case. IMHO I think you should do whatever you need to do to get over this and then move on with your new plan. I might suggest telling her your feelings about the whole matter (in a rational and not reactive way of course) give her a copy of the Bible, a big ole hug and say good bye.

I have learned that often times we get what we paid for. :H:H

Best wishes with your new qualified psychologist!:l

Thanks!

She may retire in 2011 anyway. Because:

She has severe carpal tunnel syndrome
She has a really bad bunion
She is nearly 60
She keeps getting flu
She has thyroid problems
Being a therapist doesn't pay that well

How do I even know so much about her ailments and disappointments? Because this is the sort of crap she burdened me with during our sessions.
