Harassed by my Psychiatrist

3 years ago I was sexually harassed by my now former Psychiatrist. I haven't told anyone about the inappropriate comments he made towards me, A) because I was too traumatized by the experience, and b) because it would be my word against his. I don't think I'll ever tell anyone. Who would believe me?

I have a close friend who experienced the same thing here in Vancouver/Burnaby. She went to the police with no evidence (except her word) and was told there were several reports already lodged of similar allegations. My friend absolutely felt better after making the report with the VPD.

If you write an 'I Saw You' then I can reply to you privately and let you know more (if you desire that).

Anyway- best of luck with everything.

the fucker. I've have had more issues with shrinks than you can shake a stick at. Cleet Purcell is your man (excellent litigator). Write down what you remember. Get help for the trauma. And for God's sake save others from the same shit. Power trippers.

I worked in a doctor's office. One of the male doctors was trading prescriptions for sexual favours from a female patient. The doctor was caught and was kicked out of the BC medical board and lost his license.

Please report your psychiatrist. Think of the people that you could be helping, if he is doing this to others as well. Your word is as good as anyone's.

On why you are seeing a psychiatrist. No disrespect intended at all.

Still, I would report it nonetheless...

I'd believe you. Only the jerks no one felt in high school and the guys who were closeted gays became psychiatrists at our school. The profession is rife with liars and total frauds. In a very scary way. Be lucky, sweetie. You might be the sane one here. Time to get a really really good lawyer. I would go for a pretty unfriendly lawyer in this case. And one not in need of a shrink him/herself. Oh wait, is there such a thing? A lawyer who doesn't need a shrink? Shark-infested waters, my dear. That is where you're swimming.

Guess what?

You can call the College of Physicians of BC and anonymously report him/her. And I really think you should (not that I know you or want to put "should" statements on you, but he/she has probably done this before and will again).

I hope you're ok. I believe you.
