Has anyone here had a complaint upheld about a mental health professional? The NHS absolutely looks after their own and cover their back and the BACP is a membership organisation with little power. Clients/ patients are extremely vulnerable and unless something illegal or seriously egregious happens there's very little protection or accountability for professionals.
I saw an NHS psychologist for five years. Looking back I got really sucked in . He told me he had OCD, I suspect he was also autistic and he had serious anger issues. He used to talk about himself and his issues for about 20 minutes every time. He used to rant and rave about his boss, his neighbours etc. Eventually he did something really bad at work and was told to go off sick or be sacked. So I was dropped and got no closure. Then to try recover from that I saw a private counsellor who again trauma dumped on me. What is it with these people who clearly have unresolved issues going into a profession they think they can help others in and instead harming them ?!

He would spend 20 minutes of my appointment ranting about his boss,his neighbours, his in-laws. Honestly I wonder why some of these people think they can help others when they clearly have major issues themselves.
Has anyone had success with using EMDR to help with emotional eating and overeating? Can it work for this? Thanks
