This therapist is disrespectful and unprofessional. by Shannon on 9/19/2023

 

I had a disappointing experience with this therapist via tele-health. I saw this therapist virtually almost weekly for about a year and a half. What ended up being our last session went like the following. He waited until the end of the session to bring up a topic that he knew would upset me. After I became distressed he judged me harshly about something which completely caught me off guard. He actually laughed at me and forced me into an argument that I was not prepared for. He was smug and carless and seemed to enjoy this interaction. In the past if he wanted to challenge me he would kindly say so, but that didn't happen this time. His tone and approach was very different from what I had gotten used to. After our quick argument it was time to end the session and we both said goodbye. This exchange between us helped me realize that I no longer felt safe with this person. I also want to mention that we had planned to meet in person for the first time for the next session, so he did this knowing how awkward our first in person session would be. It felt like a weird power play in order to put me on the defensive. I decided to access his notes about me and read through them. Not surprisingly the note about the last session didn't mention the argument at all, or his judgement, but it did acknowledge my emotional dysregulation, which he helped initiate. This was helpful information for me because it told me that this therapist will do things in session that he will selectively leave out of his notes, and this is completely legal. I think it's reasonable for me to feel unsafe in that type of situation. Also, I noticed many things in the notes that were just not true. The therapist was filling in the blanks based on limited information and pushing his own narrative about me. Who would benefit from this? Looking back there were many things the therapist did that were unprofessional and unhelpful. He often talked down to me, he noted I had "Average Intelligence" so my guess is that he decided to treat me with a low level of respect meant for someone who is just not smart enough to realize it. Other unprofessional behavior included the following. He rolled his eyes at me many times. He would often talk to me in a condescending and patronizing tone. His phone would usually ding each session and he would check it. He asked me if I “slept with clothes on or off” and the conversation didn’t seem to have a point. He forgot things that I had told him and I had to repeat myself many times which was frustrating. I believe the therapist summed me up, didn’t pay close attention to details and decided to essentially put me in my place. I hope he doesn't treat other vulnerable people the way he treated me.
