Tara Nicole Hast, LMFT

I was Ms.Hast's client for many years For the first 4 year's she provided me with the skills that i needed to heal from complex trauma. About 4 years in Ms.Hast had many personal problems, which i would help her with via daily texts. She became my friend and therapist at the same time. She told me about my family of origin, whom have caused me significant trauma. They were her clients also. I could tell that Ms. Hast was suffering emotionally herself and became her main source of support, thus putting my,the client's issues, on the back burner. Please beware she lies, she can dupe people easily, and tries to put blame on others. We developed a friendship where our children even played together. The dual role of therapist and friend is a major breech of ethics. Ms.Hast has left me questioning whether im too much and her actions contributed to less self worth. She suffered her own emotional difficulties and should have taken a leave of absence. I was already coming from a place of complex trauma. Ms.Hast hasn't been my therapist for a few months,but the nightmares she left me with are. Please understand that i didn't expect to goto therapy and leave with additional trauma.
