Had a therapy appointment about two weeks ago. I have an issue with coming to therapy 5 mins late from time to time. I get busy with errands and I'm horrible with time, I also literally forget a lot of things because of my medication, I will forget things and space out trying to remember. Plus parking is always hard to find at that spot it's always busy with other medical offices around.
I let them know 1 hour in advance I'm coming late because I have to get my last prescription if not I'm unable to drive to do my panic disorder. I was shamed and told I should have gotten to the office for the session and then picked up my medication. I told them I couldn't drive and go back I would have a complete panic attack I know how my body works. I did let them know in advance and they told me that's okay they can wait . I was late by 6 minutes I timed it.
I was yelled at saying they have resentment growing towards me and that this is why I'm not progressing in life and why I'm not accomplishing anything I want. Then went on a high horse saying everything I have mentioned in therapy and threw it in my face. I left crying. I cried all the way home and just didn't do anything that day. They looked proud saying what they wanted to say.
I then had an appointment with my psychiatrist and explained what happened and I mentioned the coming in late and I have issues with being 5 mins late. He told me to report her. That even he has an issue with time and never is okay for someone to say that. Specifically someone who is helping you.
I'm still upset because I didn't defend myself I'm upset that this happened I'm hurt that I was told I have nothing wrong with me by my therapist. Ex therapist now. That I was completely fine. I was disregarded and shamed.
