Complaint against the ex C

S sadlyMember
So now that I am six months away from her, I know I need to make a complaint to the practice she works at. One of the things that I find difficult is that I am trying to say that she should not have terminated me by email and she should have understood that attachment issues are not helped by abandonment. The complaint will go to medical doctors who run the practice. they will not understand any of this. So I need references from texts/books that support what I am complaining about. So quotes about how to handle termination and how to not damage a client who has early attachment issues.
At the rate I am going - I will be posting my complaint for us all to have a go at re drafting!
Hope you are all having a very lovely Easter. As usual, I am not expecting replies, I post intermittently and know that people only reply when they can.

Sadly, I don't know anything regarding attachment and termination (except what I understand by instinct through my own feelings), so I'm sure others will be more helpful. But, I hadn't heard about exC yet, so I wanted to say that I'm sorry. It is horrible she terminated via email. I sometimes wonder how these "professionals" get into this field with so little sensitivity.

Sadly, I seriously don't have time right now but the only way you can make a complaint "stick" is to look up the ethics of the professional association in your country where she practices (the Association for Counselors where you live) and cite the ethics or rules that she violated with you with regard to how she terminated or how she conducted herself in therapy. It is not you vs her but you vs. her ethics record and also your file. In this country you have a right to a copy of your file, so you may want to start there. She should have documented everything she was doing in regard to your treatment and your termination.

Good luck

She was clever in that everything that she wrote down makes her look impeccable, and there are no guidelines on the ethics code for the BACP for termination or referall. It DOES say she should have referred me to someone which she didn't. I am working on it. I don't hold out much hope. You have a real case with your ex T though.

Yes, I've learned about all the benefits of being a Patron Member (Click here if you missed seeing them: Community Psychotherapy Help

Yes, I understand that...

1. I can do a 7 day free trial and my credit card will not be charged until that period is up.

2. I can cancel at any time before then and my card will not be charged.

3. That once my credit card is charged, there is no refund offered.

Have a special coupon?

4. If I'm using a coupon my receipt won't show the discounted amount (It'll show $7.95). However, I understand that it will go through as $2.95 when I am billed after the 7 day trial. (According to the current promotion, this discount applies to the first three months of my membership - and as long as I use the coupon in the checkout.)*

*Please note that after the 3 months, billing will revert to the regular monthly fee.
**The fee posted below is our standard billing fee (ie. using no coupon).

7-Day Free Trial, then $7.95 per Month (plus tax if applicable)
