Okay, so I thought it was bad because I've experienced abuse in psychotherapy. But this sounds more like Bad Vegan or Tiger King territory. Maybe the next Netflix special. This sounds like crazy fucked up territory. If it’s all true, as you say, you experienced it, I don’t know how you untangle such an experience or even begin to tell the story. It’s just WTF? I’m sorry you went through what sounds like psychological manipulation or trauma bonding (Patrick Carnes)
Why have these wild and crazy stories become so prevalent in society? I don't even know what to say. I feel a sense of shock, but also sadness as these stories sometimes hit close to home. I’ve experienced the shadow aspects of psychotherapy and psychiatry. These so called mental health professionals are often sociopaths and narcissists. In my case, I was able to walk away. I sought treatment elsewhere. I experienced PTSD as a result of the damage of what a mental professional did. I don’t think people understand how prevalent it is for a psychotherapist to be on a psychopathological spectrum. They’re often good at playing ‘angelic’ healer if they’re a covert narcissist or sociopath. (Ross Rosenberg is a good resource if anyone here is interested in learning more.) “They love you.” “They care about you.” They only want what’s best for you.” Often they know how to use the tools of their trade against you. Mirroring and NLP are a couple of techniques they can use in nefarious fashion. Many therapists have past trauma or substance abuse issues. Many of them cannot even maintain relationships, yet, they’ve been given ‘licenses’ or the liberty to provide intervention to people who are often in vulnerable states.
Cody, I hope that you have the psychological support you need to treat the PTSD. I know you're motivated to tell the story, and I hope you've also got multiple mental health professionals (a team) offering their support. This sounds monumental.
I thought I was reading an excerpt of gripping chapter in your book. The way my mouth gaped open when I read that this was actually happening to you and she was under investigation?? Wow.
That is one sick individual, and you were thankfully underestimated! Rooting for your inevitable success 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is so wild to me. Part of me thinks… you are a brilliant man. How in the hell is this even possible? It’s hard to even imagine that this part of your life became so convoluted. I’m glad you’ve found your way, not just out of the situation, but found your way back to your voice and to your center and your truth.
I think this saga is why it is so essentiall not to br that open with a trauma history.
Now when prior self disclose yo mr bind like they ksve had major depression and anxiety, I don't chime in mr too!
The laundry list of people who used my trauma history. against me is not long. It does not have to be. Needless to say underneath that list is insidious delibersre betrayal for their own gratification. That's not too far off the ballpark of the people who abused me as a child.
Anyone who had tried to dig themselves out of trauma has often gone to a plethors pf providers many of them will not help.them except on their own explicit terms. Those terms beng solely for their benefits. That includes the ones who canceled regularly or dictated I had to be on a special #plan# to get the services I might need. Thereafter I believe for many #sirvivors# it is a question of unrelenting grit that they make it through to a place of the possibility of recovery
The road to health for someone with complex ptsx is littered with diversions and immense obstacles. Anyone who navigated that territory is in a very special category.

Wow man, sorry you went through that. I hope she gets what she deserves.
