@ellie2000 I'm really sorry to hear about your experiences with this care home! This is really unacceptable. I just wanted to express how grateful I am that you shared this with us! I think if this is something that is really distressing to you and upsetting, I would try and discuss this with a professional, particularly if they can do something to help you during this time. Do you currently have a therapist that can help you deal with these emotions brought up by this particular place? I understand you've been through quite a lot recently with unacceptable and abusive therapists, so I just wanted to check in and make sure you're doing okay?

Hey @ellie2000 - this sounds like a really tricky experience to be re-living, hope you are doing okay have you considered reaching out to the Care Quality Commission? They are responsible for inspecting that care homes are meeting required standards and that the quality of their care is up to scratch. You could read more about them here: https://www.cqc.org.uk/

As @Brookee said, you definitely deserve a space to talk through what is going on for you, and so finding someone you trust to share this with is a good thing. Perhaps if you are not sure if the person you are thinking of talking to would be able to carry this, you could speak to them about that first to get their thoughts on whether it is too much for them. That way, you are not having to second guess this, and let them make that choice for themselves.
