I usually don't spend my time speaking negatively about anyone but I am still reeling about my experience with Dr. Jan Mustin. After spending a fortune on testing to find out I am completely sane and being pushed to buy books and CD's, I joined one of Dr Mustin's divorce recovery groups. Being a very friendly, noncombative and easily liked person joining a group was not anything unusal or problematic for me at all. I was actually looking forward to learning as a group. At my first meeting with the group, after being told to introduce myself to everyone, Dr Mustin began to verbally attack me by asking the group to agree with her on how desperate I was, which no one did. It completely took me by surprise. She then started telling everyone how lonely my life must be. I thought I was in the twilight zone. She went on to tell the group very personal things about my life which I had not given her permission to do. At one point, when I tried to interject, she told me to look around and see how I had ""put off the whole group"". No one knew what to do. It was surreal. She then tried to get me to agree with her negative assessment of me which I would not do. I only agreed that it was her opinion, not mine. She told me ""I'd better agree because that was what I was paying her for"". By this time, I was in tears and completely humiliated. I don't know why I didn't just get up and leave. I would never let anyone do that to me now nor would I take part in a group where anyone was being verbally attacked or humiliated. I never went back and I will never forget.
