The therapist running the group won't think it's so funny when you very carefully write up everything that person has allowed and said, with date and time, and turn copies ( not the originals) into your state or province's therapist licensure board, and their accrediting agency, and the hospital psychiatric program's director.

Because this a** is committing therapeutic malpractice by allowing and encouraging bullying in a support group.

...don't feel like crap. Get mad, bide your time, keep what you are doing under your hat, and then go after this person.

The world is better off with this sadistic jerk driving a truck, and nowhere near vulnerable young men like you, mmmkay?

Fight smart, fight righteously, little brother!

I tend to agree with Blue, You need to find out who is her boss and bring it up, especially if you cant bring it up to your therapist privately. Them acting like that is ultimately completely unacceptable both legally and professionally. So yeah I would be getting in contact with administration over them and having a nice little chat about what is going on. Odds are they will either send you to a different one while that one is dealt with or that one is going to be put under a very uncomfortable microscope for a very long while. Things like that have lost professionals their licenses.

WOW!!
That is just so wrong on so many leaves and ways. What that "therapist" has done in unethical at best, but really it's illegal what she's done. It shocking to say the least. I am sending lost of love hugs and prays your way,

Hugs,

I actually agree, they won't laugh anymore when your insurance, and others come down so hard on them that they get in all sorts of trouble...

If you have can make copies of papers, you write out your complaints, detailing everything from name calling to how often, to maybe even if you're not the only one they do it to. Sounds like you're not.
After you make copies, make a second set of copies for yourself and maybe even a very good trusting friend... Then put the originals somewhere where only into u know where they are, and no one else...
Even a bank lock box, though I don't know how much those are anymore...
Reason being, if the originals are locked up and secured somewhere like that, there won't be a worry of someone else getting them and destroying them... Or you on a weak moment...

Sorry I'm a nut... But I've been in similar situations... Would rather have to many than loose them and it's he said she said game

Bluedragon41 hit the nail on the head about that therapist committing "therapeutic malpractice." The actions of that therapist is completely unprofessional and if they treat you that way, they will treat others the same way. By taking action against that therapist, you may save others from the same humiliation and possibly save someone from committing suicide because of this crappy therapist.

Stay strong and good luck!!!

I also agree 100% with Bluedragon41! That so-called "therapist" needs a serious wake-up call.....

Follow Blue's advice, and document everything! Then send it in to the state board, etc., and be sure you keep copies securely.

Don't let the insurance requirements keep you from finding justice - and a better actual therapist!

NOBODY has to accept that kind of "treatment" from ANYBODY. PERIOD.

you know what you just be who you know you are sweety people like that in this world eventually get there marching orders sooner or later and when it does be there to see him off in the nicest possible waylol(not)blues right their time will come so dont worry we are here for you sweetyxxxx

Thank you SO much everyone. Hearing everyone's feedback about how wrong it was made me feel better. Because I have just been putting up with it thinking maybe there is something wrong with me for being so sensitive.
