May and since there have been so many postings here praising that lady, I think it may be time for everyone to hear from some of the victims of that woman as well.</p><p>It May be important.</p><p></p><h1>people and places to avoid</h1><p></p><h3>[tw sexual abuse] Kathryn E. May - NYC and High Falls, NY</h3><p></p><p></p><div class="posts-inner"><a href="http://foryourhealthandsafety.tumblr.com/post/35246243106/tw-sexual-abuse-kathryn-e-may-nyc-and-high-falls"></a><p>This woman is a PsyD and an author, and my dad’s currently seeing her for therapy.</p><p>My dad had some sexual abuse issues when he was a kid that he had completely repressed, but rediscovered with his former (fantastic) therapist. He suffers from PTSD from the childhood incidents, and has the approximate emotional level of a 13-year-old (which was about when it happened). He is also bipolar, something that was not discovered until the same (fantastic) therapist diagnosed him, at the age of 52. While I was growing up, there was always stuff going on with him blowing up over nothing, yelling endlessly at my mom, and just generally going from highs to lows without warning. I don’t remember the lows, just the yelling. I have my own psychological damage from this, but that’s not why I’m here. My dad is on Lamictal and Zoloft for the bipolar + the depressive side of the bipolar.</p><p>He started seeing Kathryn May for therapy about…. five, six months ago? She declared on the very first visit that whatever he and his former therapist had covered was over and done with, and didn’t need to be dealt with anymore (i.e., the sexual abuse that has given him PTSD that he suffers from to this day and has had for most of his life). She also told him that she would get him completely off his meds, and “fix him”. She has zero interest in how he affects his own family. On the first or second session, she also <strong><em>SOLD</em></strong> him <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Who-Needs-Light-Kathryn-May/dp/146850701X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352340260&sr=8-1&keywords=who+needs+light">her most recent book</a>, to the tune of $30, because she felt he “really needed to read it”.</p><p>She apparently told him that she is a psychic, and sometimes helps the local police with investigative work.</p><p>We’ve never seen him like this, the way he is about her sessions. He’s incredibly secretive about how they’re going, whereas with his previous therapist he would come home and tell us all about his progress. Now he’s like when your kid comes home from school and you ask them how their day was and they just say “fine” and vanish into their room. What little he has told us about her plans for him has only shown us that he’s bought her ideas hook, line, and sinker. He knows for a fact that we think her plans are total garbage, and has therefore declared that he doesn’t want to hear anything about what we think about them. He blows up if we express any doubts about it.</p><p>About two months ago, the other shoe dropped for the getting him off his meds bit, and she told him to start weaning himself off of his mood medication. At no point did she personally contact or tell him to contact his psychiatrist or general doctor about this. As far as we know she didn’t even give him directions for how to wean off. It’s <em>really</em> obvious that he’s started it now, because he’s getting mad about everything, being very paranoid, taking practically everything said to him as a personal attack or criticism against him. If my mom comments on “did you do X thing I asked you to do”, he explodes and assumes she feels he did it wrong, and she’s always right and he’s always wrong, and he might as well not do anything around here because APPARENTLY he always messes it up, etc. He’s volatile and on edge, and before the meds thing came up, Kathryn’s therapy did actually seem to be doing <em>something</em> for him; he was thinking outside himself more, doing things like folding laundry without it even being mentioned around him, stuff like that.</p><p>Her therapy and her book revolve around rewiring how your own brain works through exercises, both meditative and otherwise. This is fine - for someone with general depression or mild anxiety, or perhaps someone who’s just confused about how to function in life. Knowing that all of my dad’s behavior for most of my life was from bipolar, and knowing several people throughout the years who had bipolar parents or other relatives, I can say that the number of people who manage to be bipolar and not on medication (and not be complete terrors because they’re not on medication) are very, VERY low. Bipolar is like schizophrenia. It cannot be cured, only managed. It pretty much has to be medicated.</p><p>All of Kathryn’s book reviews and reviews on doctor and therapist sites are glowing, five-star things about how great she is. I have a hard time believing them, considering how she’s handling my dad. The medication issue is, quite frankly, very dangerous and unethical. What’s extra upsetting is that she declared he should start weaning off the day after he saw his psychiatrist, who he now won’t be seeing again until January or February.</p><p>We’re scared for him, and distressed over the general atmosphere in our house because of him, and I would urge everyone ever to avoid going to her for therapy. She practices in both New York City and High Falls, NY (in the Hudson Valley), alternating between the two from month to month. I personally have faith that things will work out, eventually, but we’re figuring it’ll take him blowing up at her for either of them to see what a terrible idea this was.</p><p></p><p><a href="http://foryourhealthandsafety.tumblr.com/post/35246243106/tw-sexual-abuse-kathryn-e-may-nyc-and-high-falls">http://foryourhealthandsafety.tumblr.com/post/35246243106/tw-sexual-abuse-kathryn-e-may-nyc-and-high-falls</a></p></div><p></p><p></p><p>EDIT: Due to some confusion about the origins of this story I must clarify that it is not <strong>I</strong> who wrote this.

They're predicted to collide and park over the country's most populous coastal corridor and reach as far inland as Ohio.</p><p>The hurricane part of the storm is likely to come ashore somewhere in New Jersey on Tuesday morning, said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecaster Jim Cisco. But this is a storm that will affect a far wider area, so people all along the East have to be wary, Cisco said.</p><p>Coastal areas from Florida to Maine will feel some effects, mostly from the hurricane part, he said, and the other parts of the storm will reach inland from North Carolina northward.</p><p>Once the hurricane part of the storm hits, "it will get broader. It won't be as intense, but its effects will be spread over a very large area," the National Hurricane Center's chief hurricane specialist, James Franklin, said Thursday.</p><p>One of the more messy aspects of the expected storm is that it just won't leave. The worst of it should peak early Tuesday, but it will stretch into midweek, forecasters say. Weather may start clearing in the mid-Atlantic the day after Halloween and Nov. 2 in the Northeast, Cisco said.</p><p>"It's almost a weeklong, five-day, six-day event," Cisco said Thursday from NOAA's northern storm forecast center in College Park, Md. "It's going to be a widespread serious storm."</p><ul class="news_read_pag"><li class="news_read_pag_num on"><a href="http://start.toshiba.com/news/read.php?rip_id=%3CDA24N3QG0%40news.ap.org%3E&ps=1018&page=1"> </a></li></ul></div>Chemtrails in NYhttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/forum/topics/chemtrails-in-ny2010-03-21T15:53:58.000Z2010-03-21T15:53:58.000ZMichael Violahttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/MichaelViola<div>There are always chemtrail planes among many other things flying above NY. However since Monday the increase has been dramatic. Multiple planes fly, one behind the other, criss- crossing, at different altitudes. There is tingling in my throat, I've heard the same from others... Shit's going down.</div>
