Hello,

I have attached a complaint form and some evidence - two transcripts and a victim statement. And I am so sorry that I don't feel able to give you more information as yet.

I need to know that you would consider the therapist's responses to me as worthy of a complaint before disclosing any names. 

If you were to ask me what the therapist did 'wrong' my answer is, 'epistemic injustice' - the withholding of information - preventing me from being able to make an informed choice.

Thank you for reading.

Dear Anon

We have received your complaint. However, it is not clear to us what your complaint is about or the context of the attachments you have provided.

Are you able to please tell us:

1.  Why you sought therapy?
2.  When did you seek therapy?
3.  What do you feel was wrong with the therapy/therapist?
4.  When did you realise that the therapy/therapist was wrong?
5.  Do you have any evidence (emails/text messages etc) in relation to 3 and 4 above?  

UKCP can consider complaints about UKCP registered therapists that indicate a potential breach of UKCP’s Code of Ethics and Professional Practice (attached) and if it does, we will seek a response to the complaint from the therapist.

For more information about UKCP’s Complaints and Conduct Process please see the link below:

If you have any questions about the process please contact us on xxxxxxxxxx (selecting option 3).

Kind regards

The answer is no...

No, I don't feel able. 

It took me over three years to feel strong enough to fill in the official form. I posted it anonymously. What does that tell you about my confidence?

So just, just google epistemic injustice! 

But, it probably has - if it is a LLM.

So I'm back to being, how old was I, oh yes just fourteen. 

What was worse than the attack? 
The witnesses. 
Turning away.

And I blacked out...

So, UKCP I want you to know that I find the reply to be just a tiny, tiny bit like the witnesses who ignored my struggle and tears. 

The same phenomenon from down here. 
Same gut wrenching sense of powerlessness and violation.

Turning away or use a LLM, avoiding seeing how bad things really can be...Let's try pinning the word, denial to it.

Denial through LLM...

Sure it just wants clarification.
Sure it is only being reasonable...
Sure, it sounds like I need therapy!

But hell yeah, perhaps I will reply.
Just I really didn't want to go into how bad it bloody was.

I'm sitting in the cafe inside the cinema about to watch Tron Ares, primarily because I'll always have a soft spot for Trent Reznor and NIN. Quake would not have been the game it was without his soundtrack...or was it more Chris Vrenna.. I'm waffling. Not even tangential. Contrary? Not even being Mynx. No, I'm not going to sign in and read the message that has to be from 'his ethical body '. Truly it can't be from anyone else... So, even a communication limited to reducing the complaint down to simply being that the therapist has not responded to my complaint, is almost too shaming somehow.  I feel ashamed. I keep getting waves of how mortified he would feel to receive a heads-up about a complaint. No matter that I'd advise anyone who didn't receive at least an acknowledgement of the issue, to make it official. It is bloody hard to do. Can't even open the email. * Post script. Longest nin video ever! I loved it.  * Post, post script. Email opened...

Complaint.

The form is filled in, and posted. The rules are, that you can only expect a therapist's ethical body to investigate a complaint about the things a therapist has done while they were (and still are) a member of that specific ethical body.  And the complaint must be made within three years. It has been longer than three years. And my complaint is, that the therapist has not responded to my victim statement. He was certainly a member of that ethical body before September this year. So, I think it is a legitimate complaint. The longer than three years would give them a way out... But not responding to my request for an apology is pretty serious. Silence looks like denial, and no one thinks that ghosting is a good way to communicate. But, as I have said previously, my mind is still weaving a 100 and 1 excuses for him, and I'm still feeling that I'm being unfair.  Meanwhile the sane part of me is pretty sure that most adults would understand why the therapist avoiding answering ...
