I am sorry that you have had such experiences. *hug* Your right do matter, though I do understand how those with the power can make you feel as though they don't.
Can you put in a complaint about your supervisor? It is only my opinion, but I don't think that you should have to suffer for their indiscretion. *hug*
As for my violations, there have been a few. Once I was sectioned in London and guarded by a (male) security guard (including being escorted to the toilet) before being transported to my home town in secure transport. Once I got to my home town, I had to be re-sectioned as the social worker in London hadn't filled in the paperwork properly. It was all very traumatic.
My confidentiality has been breached on more than one occasion, with my parents being told by ward staff about my self-harm and other things that I have not wished them to be informed of. I had an apology once, which I appreciated, but I should have had more than one.
I've had some brilliant MH professionals and they're definitely not all bad (in my experience), but there have been mistakes that should not have happened.
