Dr. James Olsen, PhD

Jim would hypnotize me without consent or knowledge. As bizarre as this sounds he would cause me to hallucinate people who were not present like family or celebrities. It would seem as though they were talking to me and he would have them say hurtful things taunt and humiliate me. This was truly awful and I have not gotten over it.

His "therapy" was almost mind control like. He (at least with me) used hypnosis. I believe he had hypnotized me during every session and some of the things he told/said to me were inappropriate. He would say hurtful things and behave in a mocking manner.

As a child he would almost bully me. I expressed an interest in art and he told me I could not paint. When I was enrolled in little league he told me I could not comprehend baseball and to "play with Legos instead". I left his office crying once.
