I am conflicted about whether or not to report a colleague to the board. There have been instances in the recent months that have raised a lot of clinical concerns for me, however there are some concerns about retaliation from this colleague. They are considered the “senior therapist” at the pp I work at. Since receiving my supervision designation on my license the vibes between she and I have felt off. A couple months ago there was something that happened and there was a complaint filed on her. Just some background.

Yesterday I was talking to a client, spouse sees this colleague of mine. My client told me that their entire family sees this colleague of mine as family and that they spend time together outside of sessions (going over to each others homes, her hiring the kids to do work for her on her property, etc). I already had concerns about this dual relationship but now that I know it actually is happening I feel like I need to report it. I am terrified of retaliation as a couple months ago she and I had a big argument after her accusing me of outlandish things via a Teams message and when confronted about it she got very intimidating n kind of aggressive towards me. My clinical judgment is telling me I need to report but I am so scared she is going to find out it is me and she is going to work harder to push me out. Any advice or feedback would be so helpful

Went NC with my dad about a year ago and I’m still struggling with feeling guilty. The closer it gets to the year mark my anxiety and guilt are kicking my ass, is this normal?

This has been bothering me for YEARS and I really want to know that I’m not alone in this experience. I was required to become a member of the nondenominational church I was part of if I wanted to keep playing on the worship team. This process required classes and a weekend retreat. Well on that retreat, we had to do this thing called renouncing. We were handed a packet of very personal questions, basically requiring us to disclose things we more than likely wouldn’t to complete strangers. Things such as sexual history, lying, mental health issues, family dynamics, etc. when we were done filling it out we were individually brought into a room with an associate pastor and another member of the church who read over the packet and chose things we needed to “hand over to God and be free” of. So here I am, in a room with a pastor (I thought I was lucky at that time that the pastor who was with me was the pastors wife as she and I had good rapport) and another member (who I also knew pretty well as she was a lead singer on the worship team) and they’re reading over my packet. They chose things to renounce, and I had to repeat this “prayer” out loud for each “sin” I confessed to. Mind you I was about 17 years old or so. They then layed hands on me and prayed over me which felt like forever. I still don’t know what they did with that packet of information, but over the years now that I look back they definitely used some of that against me

Has anyone who was part of a nondenominational Christian church experienced anything like this? I know it sounds crazy but it happened I swear!
