not really back

[dragonyphoenix]

Gabrielle posted to let us know she's ... well I'd say alive but I'm not sure that's what she was thinking. She posted to say she's still depressed and won't be coming back yet but still does plan to come back once she's over this.

Her last therapist - she called him a "mental health" professional but I think I'd have put the quote around the word "professional" - told her she's a terrible person who makes everyone's life harder. What a dick. Honestly, I'd be complaining to the medical board and anyone else I could think of who might have the power to shut him down. What kind of an ass says that to anyone much less someone who's depressed?

So, Gabrielle, when you do get onine and read this, it's bull.

And I hope you get better help, someone who's, you know, competent.

Argh, what an awful thing to say! And needless to say, totally untrue. >:(

I know. What could that idiot therapist have been thinking?

I saw that and I was utterly shocked, I just couldn't believe it!! Talk about UNprofessional behaviour. That guy should never be allowed near to anyone with a depression ever again.

it's bull

Totally agree, and I do hope Gabrielle will realise it too.

I really do hope she understands that he's wrong. And that she'll be back soon.

Definitely.
I would file an immediate complaint with the therapist's supervisor/office director if there is one. I would also go straight to the Ethics boards in the state of Idaho.

It's hard to believe a therapist can get away with saying crap like that. ;-(

Agree completely that the therapist's statement is bull. I'll be delighted to have her back whenever she's ready, and I know I'm not alone in that sentiment.

Yeah, I'll be happy to see her again.
