Therapist makes patient feel guilty about their race

  ...

  She told me that many women, particularly Black and indigenous women, would never have the resources to be able to discuss this with a licensed therapist, and they are more likely to be the victims of sexual assault, and how did I feel about that? I was really taken aback by this and struggled to respond. She rushed to say “this is normal, this is part of the process.” I told her that I understood that I was, in a sense, privileged to have access to her. This seemed to please her and she began talking about her special duty to Black and indigenous patients. Before I knew it the session was over, and of course a few hours later my credit card was charged.

  ...

  I use the word “trauma” and she feels moved to remind me that my trauma is not as real or meaningful or important as other women’s. It felt like I wasn’t the real patient in the room, so to speak.

  ...

What in the actual f*ck! This is probably the worst therapist ever. In fact, I honestly doubt this person is even a therapist. You don't minimise or despise a person's struggles by telling them there are other people who have it worse!

  ...

  Eventually I lost my temper and said something like “there are white women who can’t afford therapy also.” I know it wasn’t constructive but I am struggling to pay for these sessions and while I know this isn’t factually true it felt like we had spent more time on the Black and indigenous women than on me….

You said it yourself! You yourself struggle to pay for those sessions - this is completely unprofessional and I'm flabbergasted a supposed professional therapist behaved like this!

Please, please, please! Go and seek someone else! You're wasting your precious money on someone who doesn't care one whit about your mental health and is only there to make you feel even worse!

  ...

  All of this makes me feel like a racist old woman, selfish and left behind…

You are not! Never let these people tell you otherwise!

These activists are becoming the monsters they wish to destroy.
