I am sorry about your experience. My current therapist is the best. She helps me a lot.
I had one before her. I really needed her and thought everything was well. She recomended another therapist to adjust my meds and when I called she didn't want me either. Sometimes, she wanted me to do things that I couldn't do. I tried but it gave me pain. I really liked my old therapist and she just blocked my phone after a few missed appointment due to my symptoms and I can't even get my records of any kind not even a summary of how much I paid her in total.
I don't recomend that you enter any kind of complaints. They are people too. May be she droped you for the right reasons. May be there were too many involved in your case. That makes it difficult to treat or coordinate. It is time consuming. May be she didn't like you. You don't want someone like that treating you. May be she needed therapy herself.
I feel the same way about my doctors, especially my primary doctor. I went to his office for many years complaining about many ailments and symptoms. He didn't tackled my complains seriously. It wasn't until this year that I was diagnosed during an emergency with conditions his office should have found out. I know he has damaged my relationship with other doctors in the system.
So, I know how you feel. There is nothing wrong with you. You have the opportunity to find another therapist that can be involve a 100%. May be this is the best thing and take it as an sn opportunity. Sometimes I wonder why Amy drop me. At least yours gave you a reason. I do reiterate, my current therapist is the best, and very involve. This is what may happen to you next. Just look forward.
Frances if you need someone to be your witness/during doctors visits, I'd be willing to do that. TN girl though.

Thank you. Yes, I will focus on the positive aspects of what I gained from our relationship. I was angered by the fact that she chose to discontinue our work when I asked her three weeks ago if she would hang in there with me in the long run. Instead of responding during our call, she chose instead to send me a message saying, "this clinician does not have experience with "end of life stage issues or those with a chronic illness." I reminded her later that I am not dying, I am sick. She was also upset that when I checked her license on the Board of Behavioral Sciences, there was a link to her LinkedIn profile where I learned she is an accomplished artist like I am. During the months we spent talking, I was always asking her why she was so private, as in the past I had never encountered a therapist who chose to keep so much of their lives private. Sometimes sharing even small things about themselves helps to build a more trusting relationship, and it was often frustrating that she chose to be as private about herself as she was, and it became obvious to me yesterday that she was perturbed that I had seen her online profile. I am laughing as I write this because I had a thought, "now she was exposed and she did not like that."
