I. One Hour in Harley Street, Then the Floor Fell Out
Before I found Dr Rafiq, I sat — barely breathing — in the polished stillness of a Harley Street office, speaking to Dr Liz White.
I explained the trauma.
The pattern of harassment.
The physical toll of stress-induced asthma.
And the panic that came every time a letter or knock signaled another institutional ambush.
She listened.
She nodded.
She looked sympathetic.
Then she called Edward Kendall, my social worker — without my consent, without warning, without delay.
And he told her something I had never been told:
That the reason for social services involvement was “domestic violence.”
It wasn’t written in any referral.
No one had informed me.
She found out before I did.
Then — having acquired a narrative from the state, not the patient — Dr White ended the relationship.
She refused to treat me.
No follow-up. No continuity. Just a link to anxiety worksheets and a distant suggestion that someone else might help.
II. What the Document Proves
That I sought support in good faith
That my oxygen levels had fallen to 44%, yet the hospital claimed “intoxication”
That my children (then 12 and 14) were falsely described as “left alone”
That my ex-partner lives thousands of miles away — yet I alone was targeted
That Dr White responded not with care, but with escalation and exit
And after all this?
I didn’t just feel dismissed.
I experienced severe panic attacks — episodes so intense they left me debilitated for days.
The betrayal was not abstract. It was physiological.
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because psychological betrayal wears credentials.
Because therapeutic abandonment isn’t always brutal — sometimes, it’s clinically polite.
Because what looks like neutrality can be devastatingly aligned.
We filed this because:
Seeking help should not lead to state surveillance
Panic should not be rewarded with procedural ghosting
And psychologists should not quietly reinforce the system the patient came to escape
Let the record show:
She did not mishear.
She did not misunderstand.
She simply made a call — and walked away.
IV. SWANK’s Position
We do not accept consultants who outsource discomfort to social services.
We do not accept “support” that dissolves upon contact with real institutional critique.
We do not accept silence as an appropriate clinical conclusion to distress.
Let the record show:
The panic was real.
The abandonment was professional.
And SWANK — is what remains when the clinician leaves.
This wasn’t care.
It was clinical cowardice in a cashmere wrap —
and we are thankful to Dr White,
not for the help, but for the honesty of her exit.
