Ohmigosh! I just started therapy with a clinical psychologist on Saturday. So far so good though. I congratulate you on having the guts to file a complaint against your former abusive psychologist. In spite of what you've been through, you sound like you have a good head on your shoulders, and a good support group. As for Dr. H., she's not worthy of your anxiety. If the charges you have brought against her are proven to be true, hopefully when this is all said and done she'll be saying, "Is this combo meal for dine in, or to go?"

> I have filed a complaint with the CA Board of Psychology against my former therapist, a clinical psychologist. Dr. H breached confidentiality several times, she committted unprofessional behavior, and she was verbally abusive. Presently, I have a new therapist who I like very much, and she is helping me with the fall-out from this experience. However, I do see my Dr. H occasionally because she and my psychiatrist share the same waiting room. Just the sight of her or the sound of her voice makes me extremely anxious. I am still afraid of her. I don't know why, really, since I haven't been her client since early May, and my psychiatrist and the new therapist are very supportive. Also, I am not afraid of anyone else I know. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
