8. The problem with the therapist issue
Fri Mar 25, 2022, 06:03 PM
Mar 2022

I go to a day program. Its my rock of sanity and I like the clients there,well most of them.

In my area the wait to even see a therapist in another program is around 9 months.

I have been to the other programs out here and they suck worse. One had clients I couldn't relate to that were stand offish and cliquish.

The other program in my area is run by a tyrant who has to control issues,she micromanages everything and she has flying monkeys that report back everything everyone does, to her.


I was kicked out this program over bullshit .
She asked,no insisted she wanted me to do a mural painting,my design she approved it. As I was painting it she found some nitpicky thing about it she had no issue with before,became verbally abusive about it screaming at me. After she vented her spleen at me, I wasn't going to tolerate that abusive shit, and told her told her how she was treating me was abusive and I ain't gonna tolerate that shit out of you.

She kicked me out for standing up for myself.
She did it in the most cowardly chicken shit way possible.

She hated I would stand up for clients who were mistreated by her. She was a fucking narcissist and the program director too.

So I'm never going back there again.

These are my choices.

The program I am at is the best I can do.
Not many therapists out here take medical assistance. The ones that do the wait list is many months.

They are looking to hire new therapists at my program. When they do hire I will make damn sure I am reassigned.

This is why I dont get another therapist.
