We need more regulation on who becomes a therapist
I’ve had around 3 therapists that straight up did not believe me or worse. The first therapist is the oldest one. I went to this one my abuser recommend and she was terrible, not believing me and even siding with my abuser when she was in the room. Even when discussing a sensitive topic she pressed that I had done something when I had not. The next one was very dismissive. When brining up wanting a flat chest she claimed since I was not starving myself so I didn’t want it bad enough. Forgetting key details and just not believing my story. The last one I went to was the absolute worst one I’ve ever been too. She brought up how her daughter was jealous of her and her ex husband’s relationship. When I brought up past trauma, she brought up hers, but made it feel like a dick measuring contest. I then texted her and told her I no longer wanted to see her because she made me uncomfortable and I felt she did not believe me. She then replied with you were lying. I replied with I can’t believe you said I was lying and then she who said you were lying. I then got a call from her work, and the lady on the phone accused me of stealing her diploma. I don’t know if I’ll ever go to therapy again. I did report them to the board of therapy, but they didn’t believe me as well.
