#HBD: H. F3rr3ll Gr33ñe

Name: Mr. (🙄) H0r@çe F3rr3ll Gr33ñe, M.D. 

Birthdate: Deceased 💀

Location: Formerly of the (D)MV Area via Lima, OH

Why they feelin' The Sting today:

Mr.--formerly "Dr."--H0r@çe F3rr3ll Gr33ñe was the medical field's worst nightmare: A (b)lack male psychiatrist who's batsh!t cr@zy its damn self. 

It was so old that certain people thought of it as a fossilized specimen, like "The First American Negro on the DL" or some sh!t.

H0r@çe had a condescending, upper-crusty air about it, despite being an undercover 🚬 straight-out of the Midwestern country wilderness that is Lima, OH. 

It was another one that insisted on inflicting itself upon DC's elite Black social scene, despite literally *NO ONE* wanting it around. 

Given my complex family situation, the boys & men of my family were referred to Dr. Gr33ñe--a rare unicorn of sorts, as a (b)lack male psychiatrist--for diagnosis, treatment, & guidance. 

Unfortunately for Dr. Gr33ñe, it used its position as a trusted advisor to exploit & s3xü@!!y @bü$e my relatives to the point that some of them are terrified of receiving any much-needed therapeutic services at all 🥀

Here's some *Free Game* for y'all, cuz I know we're not the only family this prolific d0üçh3b@g "Dr." Gr33ñe has negatively impacted over the decades:

• N@rçiss!stiç therapists (NT) violate boundaries by having inappropriate, irrelevant discussions or by disclosing inappropriate details about themselves and/or others. They may "enmesh" themselves with you in an attempt to control you & make you dependent on their approval & validation. Some, like Dr. Gr33ñe, even escalate to psychological or s3xü@! @bü$e of their clients.

• They lack empathy for your pain & engage in victim-blaming/-shaming. It's a sad reality but not all therapists are trauma-informed or empathetic. Some engage in gaslighting & other emotionally-invalidating behaviors. In couples therapy, some may pathologize you or join forces with your @bü$er. A safe professional will recognize signs of chronic @bü$e, be knowledgeable about what reactions to such @bü$e can look like, & understand how trauma affects the brain.

• They are arrogant & contemptuous & isolate you from outside support. Healthy therapists encourage you to seek out other perspectives & cultivate a support system outside of the therapeutic space. Unhealthy ones basically attempt to create one-man cü!ts. They prevent you from having access to outside support, including second or third opinions from someone who'd rightly challenge this person's authority & guru-like status. NTs believe their credentials make up for any character flaws or knowledge gaps & engage in condescending, re-traumatizing behavior. [Source]

This 🍆-head Dr. Gr33ñe would literally fall asleep during sessions; give patronizing commentary on one's life & background much like a catty schoolgirl would; gossip about its other patients; have the audacity to request "under the table" payment for its H3ll-level so-called therapeutic services; prescribe medications off-label & in such increasing dosages that more legit doctors questioned whether Dr. Gr33ñe even had license to practice in DC at all--or *anywhere else* for that matter... 

Like, the list goes on & on of just how g0d-awful this delusional a$$ "doctor" H0r@çe Gr33ñe was--and it was already geriatric AF, so who really knows how many legions of victims it created over the 100+ years of its tragic, forever-on-the-DL, stupid a$$ life??? 🤔

After years of living at a sprawling property it *definitely* couldn't afford in upper NW DC, Dr. Mr. H0r@çe Gr33ñe now lives used to live (*past tense*) right on MLK Blvd. in the very heart of Southeast DC. 

...That's a mighty downgrade, dawg. 

Now that I think about it, Mr. H0r@çe Gr33ñe was another one that's aptly named. 

I mean: "Wh0re-a$$ Feral Gr33ñe Greed"???
