So a few months ago my psychotherapist told me to stop trying to contact her or else she would take legal actions against me to prevent me from contacting her (pic related, it was her last e-mail to me). She has been ignoring all of my phone calls and e-mails from me requesting to see her again. I only saw her for six sessions back in early-2017, when I was supposed to keep seeing her for a total of twenty-four sessions as her superior had initially recommended to me. Her superior has likewise been ignoring all of my phone calls and e-mails for over a year. They do not have any office that I can visit to speak to them directly, they only have a room that they rent which they use for the psychotherapy sessions, and it is only one room out of hundreds in an office building full of psychotherapists from various different psychological corporations.
Similarly, my psychiatrist has also been ignoring all of my phone calls and e-mails for months. I did receive an e-mail from one of his subordinates telling me that I'm no longer allowed to see any of the providers of their practice, and that if I am seen anywhere near any of their offices, that they will call the police.
I had neither done nor said anything sexual nor threatening to any of those people.
Also, I have a 7cupsoftea therapist and my last conversation with her went like this:
>Me: ...I sort of hate you sometimes... >Her: Feeling is mutual >Her: You’re rude AF
She is really not all that great to chat with. She has a quota of only two messages per weekday, and some weekdays she does not respond at all. And she tends to ignore and misunderstand a lot of the things that I say.
But anyway. I was wondering if anybody here could give me a list of things that I can or cannot do, say or cannot say to mental health care professionals (whether they be: psychotherapists, psychiatrists, etc.) So that, y'know, I don't end up wasting hundreds of dollars on these people only to have them cut me off out of the blue.
Mental health professionals are just people, user. The impression I'm getting is that you're very rude and cruel to them, disregard their wishes, boundaries and feelings, and you're not really enough of a danger to yourself or others that they feel morally obligated to keep treating you.
If someone flat-out tells you to leave them alone, leave them alone. Move on.

There is no way in fuck that they just cut you off and threatened to call the police on you for absolutely nothing. What did you do, OP? What emails were you sending her that she found disturbing and inappropriate?
Gavin Gutierrez
This. If you don’t provide context no one can help you.

ITT: >psychopath masks his shitty behavior and tries to garnish pity for it
Whoa. I got a lot of replies real quick. Wasn't expecting that.
>ITT: >>psychopath masks his shitty behavior and tries to garnish pity for it
I am not a psychopath. I have been officially evaluated for all personality disorders (including antisocial personality disorder) and been told that I do *NOT* have any personality disorder. The psychologist who evaluated me is the superior of my psychotherapist, the one who has been ignoring me for months. Pic related. It's page two of my psychological evaluation report.
>What emails were you sending her that she found disturbing and inappropriate?
Well I had decided to run a background check on her (as I run background checks on all of my doctors using BeenVerified and a few other web sites) and I managed to find my psychotherapist's personal Facebook page. Through that I found out that she had recently gotten married (back in September of last year) so I congratulated her on getting married. I guess she must've taken it as me crossing a line that shouldn't have crossed within a doctor-patient relationship. I asked my 7cups therapist about this and she told me that I shouldn't have congratulated my psychotherapist on getting married. That she should have told me first.
I also asked my 7cups therapist if she could give me a list of things that I can or cannot do, say or cannot say to mental health care professionals so that this doesn't end up happening again. In which, ya know, I ended up wasting hundreds upon hundreds or even thousands upon thousands of dollars on numerous psychotherapy sessions, consultations, assessments, examinations, etc. that went nowhere and ended abruptly. My 7cups therapist could give me no such list.
So maybe you guys can give me such a list? Because at this point I really don't see the point of looking for yet another psychotherapist if they can just terminate the psychotherapy treatment indefinitely, without any warning whatsoever. Because, seriously, I was never given a warning. My psychotherapist never warned me ahead of time with something like, "please stop sending me these e-mails, or else I will have to end your psychotherapy treatment." She never gave such a warning. She simply ended it, completely out of the blue.

What would you say or talk about to them before they started cutting you off?
Andrew Young
They probably cut you off because they don't want to prescribe you adderall because they only care about themselves not getting in trouble if you abuse it or something.
Jose Moore
That is almost certainly not the case my dude
John Flores
anyway I don't have a list of everything you can't say, but from what you have told us I would recommend not bringing up things from people's personal lives that they haven't mentioned to you. I know it's easy to find someone's facebook, but if you look into what they consider their "personal" life, even though they make it publicly available, they might think you're stalking them or something lol. I dunno. Basically if you find something out about them from looking them up on facebook, keep it to yourself, and if they ever mention it during a session, then you can be like oh congratulations and pretend like you didn't already know.
William Anderson
In general, I would suggest that you keep it too professional, and don't make too many demands of their time & attention (calls and emails) outside of scheduled appointments.
Otherwise - Doctors and therapists are human. They don't always have good professional reasons for the things they do. If you're not leaving something out of the story where you insulted, harassed or threatened her in some way, then I think she should've ended your therapy with her in a less abrupt and more courteous way. It's entirely possible that you're not really the one at fault here. Regardless, the best thing you can do is let it go and find a new therapist.

I predicted that you would make that statement, but chose this timeline so that you didn't have to feel bad.
