Linda Carmody

During my first session with Linda I told her "do not parent me". I set this boundary with Linda. I explained why I gave her multiple reasons. I'm in my 30s. I got a college degree at 24 years old, owned a house at 24 with the sweetest man ever, bought a brand new subaru Impreza right off the lot no miles on it when I was 28. I had a good job. I had a good healthy relationship with the sweetest guy ever for most of my 20s. I could go on n on about how much we loved each other. During my last session with Linda she went all psycho Karen on me. Yelled yes actually yelled this is actually what she yelled "you shouldn't be having seggs outside of wedlock" "you're going to get pregnant." " and THAT you won't be able to blame on a man." "Nope that's all going to be all your responsibility." Then she said “I got knocked up young and the guy didn't show up for the wedding. He just didn't show up." She would tell me every session how her whole family would tell her she'd never make it without a… man. How she didn't get a degree til she was 39. She wrote I need to set boundaries with men. I do set boundaries I have proof the goes back years for example texts messages. I was an attractive blonde best believe I got texts from men and me saying no. I set a boundary with her and she broke it. When I told her "that's not ok to say those things." She kept repeating "it's the autism, it's the autism." She was blaming it on her autism. She never said sorry. I had to google what wedlock even meant. It means marriage. She's in her 60s. During the first session she went on n on how she claims no role as a woman in this society. She even had to nerve to question if I was actually autistic when I was diagnosed prior to ever meeting linda. She would baby talk me even tho l've explained how successful I was. I said I was sad about getting diagnosed with autism in my 30s n she said "well I didn't find out til my 50s." Very invalidating. I was sadly disabled at 29 n I couldn't work for a bit due to this n during this time is when I was doing sessions with linda. She kept telling me "to get out in the community" as homework. Mind you l'm using a cane to recover from complex regional pain syndrome at 31 n I explained how many times my situation. I was getting out in the community I have proof still pics of me out in community during this time. My Apple Watch was recording all my workouts. Even disabled I still worked out. I was a runner when I got disabled. Still have the recording on my Apple Watch. Linda just talked about her ankylosing spondylitis. She's in her 60s. Very invalidating to me. Like how could she even compare. She just kept repeating to me "oh you're so young" over n over again. She would baby talk me as if I was just being scared n lazy. She told me I can make things happen by worrying about them. She said she "caused her daughter's car accident by worrying about it." You CANNOT this is a delusion please ask a psychiatrist! I told her how I was treated really bad even had witnesses n proof of medical trauma from doctors n getting disabled so young N linda goes "oh that's just the old boy network." No it wasn't JUST the old boy network. I got disabled at 29. She tried to tell me I didn't know the difference between a good or bad doctor. I was firm n gave her examples as I worked in a doctor's office (one of the largest medical systems in the state) when I got disabled. She was like "Ashley haven't you ever just had fun" yeah my life was amazing before getting disabled. Seems like Linda assumed I was just being scared n lazy. Sounds like she was projecting. I just want our community to be aware of my experience so people in the community can make the best choice in therapy for themselves. Linda keeps deleting my reviews she is yet again silencing me. Again trying to control the outcome. When all I'm doing is trying to keep our community safe by sharing my experience. Of course linda gets defensive that is the biggest red flag. She got so def
