My wife should be in therapy but has entirely sworn it off after her last therapist would gossip to clients about other clients, especially clients who are related or know eachother well, and tried to play matchmaker, giving her contact info and sharing some of her struggles with another client of his who happened to be finishing up a prison sentence at that time. He runs his own practice because he was fired from the last one for HIPPA violations, and instead of being thankful his old boss didn’t entirely ruin him he just is resentful that he got fired for engaging in what should be career-ending activities
On today’s episode of Bullshit That Never Happened…
As someone who’s had a uh… not great experience with mental health care, this story is totally believable to me.

That therapist needs to lose their license yesterday.
And probably see some jail time, as well as a class action lawsuit.
This is sadly all too believable but I’m happy for you that all of your experiences with therapy have been so positive that this seems impossible
