HE KICKED ME OUT AFTER PROMISING ME HE WOULN'T WHILE HAVING A PANIC ATTACK!!!
This was the first time I had a psychologist have a full-blown panic attack during my session! I had been going to Brad for a couple of months. I always thought it so odd that he had no office. He just conducted the sessions in his living room. And his "waiting room" was his unheated screened-in porch!
I told him my fear of abandonment and my bad luck with psychologists. He seemed to understand. And he promised me that he would never abandoned me! But during one session he started questioning how many times I went to the psychologists' licensing board. Of course I was honest, since I thought I could trust him! He DID PROMISE NOT TO ABANDON ME!!!
As I told him, and answered the repeated questions that he kept flinging at me, he started sweating!!! He started shaking!!! He was stuttering, and wringing his soaked hands like they were a wet washcloth!! He told me that he couldn't see me anymore!! I questioned this and wanted to talk about it. But he kept jumping out of his chair asking me to leave! I told him to sit down because we had half of the session left - THAT I PAID FOR!!!!!!!! He kept pacing the floor telling me I HAD TO LEAVE and that he NEVER WANTED TO SEE ME AGAIN!!!!
He admitted to me that he had a patient take him to the licensing board before. He said it was very costly and that her husband threatened him! It appeared like he was not only having an anxiety attack but PTSD. I understood. So, I left. But it had an emotional impact on me.
