Unethical behaviour by grief counsellor.

I believe my mother’s grief counsellor broke client confidentiality and fed private information to a Reiki practitioner/medium/grifter. They used that information to pretend to channel my brother, delivering a message designed to try and trap my mom into believing that she should feel guilty for not trying to be happier: “I can see through your eyes, I need you to be happy” and “I need you to take care of me by taking care of yourself.”

My mother believed it wholeheartedly because she is a deeply spiritual person, childlike in nature (autistic and ADHD), and craving a connection with her son.

My mother is grieving the loss of her son by suicide; she has chosen to trust this person with her most intimate pain, and they broke that trust.

I had to be the one to point out the horrible abuse and betrayal she has suffered at the hands of these fucking people. She sees it now.

If she chooses to pursue legal action and/or file a formal complaint, I’m preparing everything she needs. I hope she does take action, but I also just want her to get proper help with people she can trust. And if you are wondering, the society that she is working with is not some alt-medicine group; it’s the group that is recommended by Victim Services (who work for law enforcement), and the counsellor in question is fully certified with multiple governing bodies.

I am absolutely livid and want to see their credentials revoked. They took someone who is truly vulnerable and played with their trust... it sickens me.

That’s my rant. I hope everyone is getting proper support and help.
