Lisa Hurst Barnhardt Lied

  One of the most disturbing parts of being abused is not only what the abuser does, but what happens when you finally speak about it and the person in front of you—someone who is supposed to help—responds in a way that deepens the harm. I needed support, clarity, and a safe space to understand what I was experiencing. Instead, I was met with reactions that felt dismissive, cold, and sometimes disturbingly aligned with the person hurting me. Over time, I realized I wasn’t only dealing with an abusive relationship. I was also dealing with a “helping” professional dynamic that seemed to train me to tolerate abuse, rather than escape it. There were moments when her reactions were so revealing that I could feel my reality slipping—not because I didn’t know the truth, but because she made the truth feel unsafe to say out loud. After I told her that he had charged over $700 on my credit card, I expected concern. I expected her to acknowledge that financial abuse is still abuse. Instead...

Lisa Hurst Barnhardt was Intentional  Whether a therapist practicing “with malice” is considered criminal depends on the jurisdiction and the specific conduct: 1. Malpractice vs. Criminal Conduct Malpractice : Most often, when a therapist harms a client (through negligence, incompetence, or unethical behavior), it falls under civil liability —the client may sue for damages. Criminal Conduct : If the therapist’s actions involve intent to harm, coercion, exploitation, or fraud, then it can cross into the criminal realm. 2. Examples of Criminal Acts by Therapists Fraud : Billing for services not provided, falsifying records, or insurance fraud. Intentional psychological harm : If a therapist deliberately inflicts psychological abuse (e.g., threats, coercion, encouraging self-harm), that could potentially be prosecuted under abuse, harassment, or even assault statutes. Breach of confidentiality with malicious intent : For example, leaking private therapy notes to cau...

Therapy is supposed to be safe space to process thoughts and emotions.

 When a therapist repeatedly steers you toward “understanding” or centering an abusive partner’s feelings—while you’re already sacrificing your own—several concerns come up. Here’s how to think it through and what you can do: 1. Why this stance can be risky Potential Issue What It Looks Like Why It Hurts You Safety & Power Imbalance Ignored The therapist talks about his childhood wounds  or stress at work but says little about the violence, threats, or coercion you face. Empathy becomes a tool that normalizes or excuses abuse, keeping you in danger. Re-enactment of the Abuse Dynamic You try to raise your own fears; the therapist redirects you to “see it from his side.” You relive the pattern of placing his needs first, reinforcing self-blame and eroding self-trust. Ethical Boundary Concerns The therapist seems more invested in “saving the relationship” than in your safety or autonomy. Professional codes require that client welfare—and in IPV cases, victim safety—come f...

Writing is better than seeing an incompetent therapist.

   Externalizing your thoughts—whether by writing them down or speaking them out loud—can help impose structure on the jumble in your head. When you talk, you’re forced to put your ideas into words, sequence them, notice gaps, and test them against another person’s reactions. That feedback loop is hugely important. But if the person you’re talking to isn’t tuned in—if they’re distracted, dismissive, or simply can’t follow what you’re saying—that loop breaks: You don’t get useful feedback. You need someone who actively listens, reflects, and maybe asks clarifying questions. If instead they glaze over or respond irrelevantly, you end up talking into a void. You’ll still feel like your thoughts are swirling around, but without the stabilizing effect of mirrored understanding. You can feel invalidated. A core need in any supportive conversation is to feel heard. If your listener seems to miss basic points, you may second-guess yourself (“Maybe I really am unclear,” or worse, “Ma...

When Trust Is Broken: My Experience with a Therapist's Smirk

Image
I WENT INTO LISA HURST BARNHARDT'S OFFICE TO BECOME MORE AWARE ABOUT MY OWN PATTERNS AND TENDENCIES. I CAME OUT OF HER OFFICE BEING HYPERFOCUSED ON THE NEEDS AND FEELINGS OF OTHERS AT THE EXPENSE OF MY OWN.  THERAPY ONLY REINFORCED THE VERY PROBLEM I CAME TO SEE HER ABOUT. WHY DID LISA HURST BARNHARDT COLLECT MONEY FROM BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD?  She intentionally wanted me to fail so she could have more business for herself. She saw me as her cash cow. And I see her as a loser sitting on some mountain top in Chattanooga, TN.  Starting therapy can be a leap of faith. It requires courage to walk into a room, sit down, and share parts of yourself that you may not even say out loud to your closest friends. When I started seeing Lisa Hurst Barnhardt, I had high hopes. I was ready to open up and do the work needed to better understand myself and my experiences. What I didn’t expect was to leave a session feeling dismissed and disrespected. I came prepared. I wanted her to unders...
