I went in for 2 sessions to see Patience Hill-Berardi who practices in Belleville Ontario. The first session was to get to know me and my background of course. I found her extremely odd but brushed it off as being hyper sensitive perhaps. The more I discussed my pain and cried, the more she had this huge smirk and smile on her face. Every time I looked close at her, she "caught" herself and seemed to regroup back to a bizarre blank stare as if she wasn't even listening.
I decided to give her a second try, feeling it was something I was being over sensitive to. But no, there she was again, each time I brought up some issue, she brought up her own issues, spoke about herself and her problems and when I got back to mine and was crying, she was smiling and I mean a huge smile. She was enjoying my pain. I felt sick to my stomach. This woman was enjoying my pain, my skin was crawling and I tried to talk to her about it. She denied it and was mocking me about my own pain, accusing me of overexaggering my life and being overdramatic. She said she could tell people like me off the start and she was there to shock me into being real.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I am a victim of child sexual abuse. My abuser is documented AND behind bars but here she was telling me I was overexaggerating? She mocked me, smirked and smiled, she enjoyed pushing buttons and when I was upset at her, she twisted it and said I was the one creating more problems. After saying these things to me, she'd quietly sit back and smile and say nothing for a few minutes.
I left 20 minutes before the session was supposed to be done. I was numb to my core. The 2 sessions with her were so damaging to me I cannot trust anyone now. I don't want to see a therapist or talk to my own doctor about this.
I think people need to be warned about this woman! She's young and very unstable.
I once heard a lady on the news who taught the police about psychopaths. Her name is Pat Brown, she's a Criminal Profiler. She said she's done a lot of guest speaking at many colleges around the nation in the psychological field. She found the most dangerous people were the ones taking psychology degree's. Most go into it not to become psychologists, but to understand themselves and what happened to them and their lives. I have to wonder if Mrs. Patience Hill-Berardi is one of these women. We read about people like this but I feel I've experienced it.
It was like dealing with a crazy mother in law but 10000% worse and much more dangerous and harmful. If you know what I mean, ladies??? (but she's very young, so she has years to practice).
