Isn't your problem with Mary Mcgrannahan is that she found out that Sandra Brown MA had been posing as a psychotherapist for years without having the education or license to do so, and is going to blow the whistle on her?
McGrannahan must have hammered this out five hundred times, with and without threatening to "blow the whistle". What fascinates me is the temporal nature of her confusion. She repeats this accusation as if she has not already "blown the whistle". She repeats the accusation as if her sigmoid colon hasn't long ago prolapsed and dried to the seat of her pants for all the desperate whistle blowing (an example of "stereotyped repetition", in hopes of reproducing interesting consequences [secondary circular reactions, a developmental milestone for infants 4-8 months of age]).
The above is intended for personal entertainment only, and should not be construed as medical advice.
McGrannahan, and even Barbara Camwell Ness, are real persons, and I grant them the minimal respect for whatever shred of latent humanity they retain. If either were on fire, I would spray them with a hose and call 911. My personal experience of them was as fellow "victims" of domestic violence, although they were anything BUT. I am outraged by their deception and exploitation of REAL victims, who they pretended to be.
I first met Barbara Camwell Ness in 2007 in one community, and she was tossed out on her ear within four months. McGrannahan lasted less time than that, even though she returned with different user names as she's done here. Fortunately, the community of domestic violence survivors apply themselves to the hard work of self-examination, and elimination of the vulnerabilities that led us to fall for the abuser/predator in the first place.
The "healing" process is much like any other. Self-inventory, ruthless self-honesty, understanding and abiding by interpersonal boundaries (for the first time, for most of us), and most importantly, taking personal responsibility and ownership of ourselves and our lives. A significant number of us were raised by an abusive parent, or within an "abusive" subculture based upon some religion or ideology, so finding a predator to marry was like Old Home Week.
One important result of the healing process is a keen eye that recognizes predatory types. Considering the money, children, years and other losses inevitable to abusive relationships, it is small consolation to see these predators coming from a mile away. It's worth it, though, considering the unending problem of psychopathy.
Only a complete failure of a psychopath would dare to fool a community of abuse survivors who've done their work. The sad thing is, both Barbara and Mary have taken advantage of many people, and will continue to do so until they are fully exposed. These two are pretty much toast at this point, thank goodness. But there will be more, and some of us, for whatever reason, won't stop watching for them, and calling them out until our fingers and tongues fall off.
