Carolina Counseling Center - Karen Selz - Counseling & Mental Health Near Me - Wilmington, North Carolina

ImetDr.NancyPeters for the first time in 1988. I was 14. Life had already become impossible for me even at that age. We didnt work out because I couldnt confide in her or anyone at 14. But I really liked and appreciated her. By the time that I was twenty three, I asked her if I could come back to work on family issues. She welcomed me back in 1998. By 2001, We began to not work out again. But instead of referring me out, Dr. Peters began to help me a little more where I was. In my home. We stopped talking about my family entirely. We began to go grocery shopping together. She would help me with my rent, light bills, and being a contact source. I was steady losing my connection with my family. My family and I were confused by her coming out of the office. Dr. Peters began to become completely incongruent towards me then. She refused to offer me any knowledge. It caused me to blame myself all my life for being the black sheep.. I couldnt gain any traction w my family, and after seeing Dr.Peters 6 yrs, nothing had gotten better w my mental health or my family. I decided that we shouldnt work in the office together. Dr. Peters stayed my Hero and then became my Mentour. I could call her house and talk with her anytime that I wanted before 10 pm Last year. Eventhough I was all alone with no family support. I begged Dr. Peters to please help me to reach out to my family because I needed them. She told me that she doesnt do that. Shes beento their homes to pick me up, or let them come by her office to pick up money for me. She knows all of their names. . My world fell apart yet again in 2016.. But my Mentour is very angry with me for taking a stand for myself against the person who had harmed me I thought that since she is a Doctor, and my Mentour, I would certainly have her on my side of the unfortunate events that I had endured from 2016-20. But she would not talk to me, or allow me to talk about what I had gone through. She even grossly betrayed me for no reason which caused my perpetrator not to take me seriously and end up in more trouble with them. Last year was again one of the hardest years of my life just leaving a horrendoulsy traumatizing situation that I endured for four years. It was so hard because what I dealt with was so painful and I honestly thought that Nancy would finally help me. The situation that I was a victim of angered her at me. She would become stotic and none responsive. I had a Doctrate of Psychology who I had known consistantly since age twenty three, side with the perpetrator AND refuse to help me communicate with my family when I needed them the most. Then she would taunt me and tell me that she "cant be my one and only."When I expirenced complex flashbacks this time last year, Even though Nancy and I woulkd be on the phone, she would tell me no shes not going to talk about it. And alot of times, she woulkd just become quite and refuse to speak but never refer me to anyone else. I had no idea that my Hero and Mentour was so angry at me. Its been so painful knowing Dr, Peters. because she treated me like my family did. She basically taught me that myself and worth was an extension of her. Im so sad and confused that she closed up to me so long ago but kept. Ive been betrayed by everyone that I have evr felt close to especially Dr. Peters. And like everyone Ive ever been close to, the hope me on a tight rope for my behavior, but expect to not have or take any responsibility for their Tango moves. It has left me beaten and worn. Torn and battered. I dont have anyone to live for anymore. read more
