Meanest therapist on the planet
 

I had an appointment with my councellor at 6:30pm at this big bilding where there are like 15 different councellors that work from it. Anyhow, i got there and she wasn't there.
(apparently she had called my house to cancel because she was really sick, this was early in the morning) I didn't get her message cause I was out and ended up showing up anyways.
So the hall that she is down was black and locked so i knocked on another councellors door and asked him if he knew where she was, he said he didn't know. (this man was the only other person in the building) So i waited beside the hall of my councellors just to see if she would show up. Anyhow, she didn't so I went back up to this mans office and knocked to ask if i could use his phone, cause i didn't have mine on me.
he came out of his office and i asked for a phone.. he said "Look, I have a client, stop knocking on my door. I can't solve your problems, your old enough to figure this out for yourself". I started to cry at this point...As he began to turn away from me I said "**** you"... he slammed the door on my face.

First off, how the hell was i supposed to know he had a client, when i first came to talk to him i said, "sorry if im interupting" and he was like "no,no, your not" ... so i went back up looking for a phone.
So here I am.. DOWNTOWN ... in a sketchy area, wandering the streets at night (it was snowing)..trying to find a phone to call my parents to pick me up, just because this ****ed up therapist wouldn't help me and expected me to solve this by myself.. im 16 man.. i was scared, alone, freezing my ass off and ****ing yelled at. I wanted to go back and knock on his door again just to spite him...

That guy sounds like a jerk. You should tell your counselor what he did next time you speak. *hugs*

definately tell your counsellor next time.

hope you're okay doll.

I would tell your one what he did, he had no right to treat you like that.

What an idiot! Even if he was with a client, there was no way he should have been that rude to you. I agree with the others.... tell your counsellor about it next time you see her.

*hugs*

I think you have to consider this from his point of view too. Yes, he was a bit rude to you. However, when I'm seeing my support worker and someone knocks on the door, I hate it, even once that person has gone I clam up and get nervous and can't speak properly. So it probably was just that he was protecting his patients best interests slightly too agressively.

i can see both sides here, like heidi tiger, i hate it when people knock on the door when im in a session it freaks me out, it throws me off what i was saying and i ind it hard to continue.

saying that if i was spoken to like that a at counselling service i would be really upset. he maybe was trying to help his patient as above but he didnt talk to you in the right way at all, i would defintaly tell your therapist next time you see them.

hope your ok!

well i had no idea he had a client and he even specificly told me the first time that i wasn't interrupting anything. .

and heidi tiger "he was a bit rude to you"... he was difinantly more than a bit rude to me... I was so so upset. He treated me like I was nothing,
I know i would be frusterated if someone knocked on my door as well but since he indicated before that i wasn't interrupting anything i definantly didn't deserve what i got.
i feel like he was just treating me like **** because i was alone and young. so he thought he could get away with saying anything to me.

I know im being really straight forward with you guys but im just really upset about the whole situation

he was an arse yes but i dont think he set out to hurt you.
it was a misunderstanding, he could of handled it better yes but he didnt.

i think he should have handled it better. you're only 16. i would have been frightened. and he doesn't know what you see a counsellor for. i reckon he should've been a lot more careful. it's his fault, not yours. if you had've known he was in a session (and, like you said, you asked if you were interrupting and he said no - HIS responsibility) then you wouldn't have knocked his door.

sure, if i was in a therapy session and someone kept knocking on the door, i'd be cross and upset. but i'd rather that, than a 16-year old girl being hurt out in the town because she couldn't get the chance to make a phonecall.

there should've been someone else in the building, like a secretary.

i'm sorry this happened and it's worth talking through with your counsellor. and have your phone on you next time :)
