Kath ran our anxiety group back in the 2010's and while she wasn't there to run the group (she put a client in charge) she did enough damage.  Our group leader was writing down all of our stories about our anxiety in group, and then publishing them in a newsletter about anxiety.  Then, she compiled them all into a book and published it.  I brought this up to Kathy, she said she had no idea about what was going on.  Then when other group members called her, she yelled at some of them and told them "there's nothing bad going on, she changed your names!" and reacted inappropriately to anyone who called her about it, except me.  So, I went to the person who published the newsletters and asked if I could have all the back issues.  I read every single one (several years worth) and found that not only did Kathy know she was doing this, she approved every single story before they were published.  So she lied to me.  This became a huge thing and eventually led to the dissolution of our group.  We tried to sue over this, but the group members all didn't want to pay for how much it would cost us, even though the lawyer wanted to push this all the way into making this into a law, so it would be illegal to allow anyone to run a mental health support group and the publish stories based on the things clients said without their permission.
