This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff
Cincinnati, United States
Freaked out
Today, the school counselor asked me to leave the grief counseling group I've being go to after the death of my sister. Apparently, I scare the others. FML

I'm so sorry OP. I hope you were given an individual session and everyone deals with grief in their own way so to hell with that counselor!

**** him/her! Grief isn't all nice and meek and cute. It's messy and angry and ****** up and scary sometimes, and if s/he can't see that, s/he shouldn't be a counselor. I'm sorry for your loss.

OP, please don't take it personally. Counselors will sometimes briefly remove members of a group in order to work on relationships between other clients. Did he/she invite you back later during the session or at least refer you to another counselor? If not, that qualifies as abandonment of a client, which is an ethics violation, and you should report him/her. My condolences for the loss of your sister. I can't imagine how much that hurts. Just keep in mind that you're not going to feel like this forever.
