There was a long thread back and forth and I found more and shared some elsewhere and people were like omfg. It's bad. (I did not include their name in the screenshots obvs)

Men: “Jane Doe is lying! That’s why the Cornell 7 weren’t charged! Won’t you think of the reputations of the rapists?” Reality: Cornell lied. Not Jane Doe. They withheld crucial details of her story when they gave the information to police and prosecutors. They protected the men:

Statement Written by Police in Cornell Assault Case Omitted Her Claim She Was Raped
Documents obtained by The New York Times show that the campus police at Cornell University sent a condensed statement to a prosecutor, who then declined to bring charges.

Then repeated it. I live in a shithole that is 51st in the nation for MH care access and this provider had told me nobody else would believe in or be able to treat me because of my diagnosis. I felt trapped. They were wrong. I found a list of qualified ppl but I am too traumatized BY therapy now.

I found an email where I politely said to them, "Please stop treating me like your supervisor. I cannot hold your feelings about other clients, and it is causing me severe stress to hear you calling them liars. I do not feel safe sharing with you ..." They wrote back admitting they did it.

I knew we had some email exchanges, but I did not realize how much they admitted to (but they continued to do it). Also the therapy record is a MESS. I have been unable to look at it much until now because it is re-traumatizing, but I am filing a complaint. I have to try to protect others.

Karrie @karriehiggins.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I have spent today sorting through email communications, the therapy record, and the previous provider's notes for continuity of care ... this is a mess. No wonder 2024 fucked me up so bad. I have a long list of harms including organ damage that directly traces to what this provider did. Fuck them.

Karrie @karriehiggins.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I also may have let HHS Medicaid & Wellmark Fraud Units know about this provider because there is no SOL on clawbacks and audits when a provider misrepresents competency to continue receiving payments for services they cannot ethically or legally provide.

The SOAP notes are a hot mess. The "objective" portion is uh .... not objective. Mind reading, biased language, even angry and hateful insults. Copying-pasting. The board probably won't do shit, but this prick has to read what they did. They deserve to face it.

Karrie @karriehiggins.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Wow, my therapist admitted to every abuse IN WRITING: calling other clients fakers/attention-seekers during MY therapy time, verbal abuse about my body, calling me a liar about a rape & saying I wanted it, lying about their competency & training. They specialize in body image and trauma-yikes.

My therapist labeled my rape a "delusion of persecution." If you care about Cornell, please also care about psychiatrized victims. Highly likely to be victims and highly likely to not be believed or to have their normal distress labeled "psychosis." www.madinamerica.com/2021/11/rese...

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

So my spouse told me tonight after I pointed out he seems able to provide support to others but cannot provide it to me while I am going through this horrible trial. "I can't support you ... you're my spouse." "Did you just hear yourself???" In case you're wondering why I am rarely around.

And YOU are the entire reason the ex-client's case is time-barred, because you gaslit & blamed to the point that the client thought, "Well if even my own therapist does not believe me ..." 21 felonies and counting! A new one added last week! SO many victims.

Imagine accusing your therapy client of making up a sexual assault by a previous provider out of "revenge" .... and not apologizing when that now ex-client contacts you two years later to say the cops might call you for records cause previous provider has 21 felony sexual assault charges.

In the meantime, I do not really have access to a lot of my care or ways to cope with the stress like maybe even a massage for the horrible pain or a coach since therapy abuse like I experienced actually means therapy is not safe.

because of something I have corroborating my injuries in 2013 that I think echoes that other case possibly. He now has 21 felony charges: One 1st degree object rape; eleven 2nd-degree forcible sexual abuse; nine 1st degree forcible sodomy. They are BURYING him in charges.

Great reminder that the ongoing and intensifying American affordability crisis cannot be solved without major land-use changes (ending sprawl, accelerating infill development at scale) that enable people to ditch their cars and access cheaper/more sustainable mobility modes

if you ever wonder how Americans became the richest major country on the planet but most of us still feel so poor, looking at what we spend on cars — not just directly but in tax money for infrastructure and space in the built environment — is the answer.

I think they will discuss release on October 16th. I am not sure if I can attend that one or listen to audio. I will find out. I know we cannot make statements because the judge (who I really like btw) said they do not take that into consideration for pretrial release questions.

Karrie @karriehiggins.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
Well the hypnotist pled not guilty and they are revisiting release ugh. This one I could attend because no testimony, just arraignment. Nothing that would cause any issues for my testimony or anything. As per usual nobody close to me checked in.

As both an academic and a writer, I am repelled by the "this looks like a long document. Would you like me to summarize it for you?" that seems to appear at the top of every pdf viewer now. NO. The *entire point* of good writing (either books or journal papers) is that every sentence has a purpose.

I could really use help with groceries, legal / court fees, and cat stuff, too. Also my hearing aids are beyond repair now. They were old. I got them with a grant from the Rauschenberg Foundation and cannot afford new ones. Scared about that for court. $4500 specialty aid (NO I cannot use Air Pods).
