They suspended her license due to her breaking probation. After reading the details... why was she only on probation?

Augustus reportedly kept the whip and riding crop on display in her office.

She’s giving them something to cry about.

It was state medical board probation, not legal.
I am assuming her patients were ok with the treatment or she would've been legally charged/arrested?
This is some weird shite, but you have to basically kill someone due to negligence on the operating table to risk having your medical license revoked.

Suspended because she didn't go to therapy and didn't pay the fine, not because her behavior changed 
quote:
The State of Tennessee Department Health has now issued an order stating Augustus failed to pay the $50,000. The order also states Augustus failed to engage in the monthly supervision with a therapist.
As a result of these violations, Augustus license was suspended effective August 9.
The order states Augustus’s license will remain suspended until she enters an at least three-year-long monitoring contract with the Tennessee Medical Foundation to monitor her monthly psychotherapy supervision progress.
She must also pay $10,000 of the $50,000 cost assessment owed and enter a payment plan to pay the remaining $40,000, along with additional costs and civil penalties.

So, definitely not a modality I learned about in my masters program.

Grew up in Collierville, next to Germantown. Could've been me.

This may be the shrink Trevor Bauer needs to see.

Sounds like she was running a fetish place.

I am currently sitting in my Germantown home.
Dodged a bullet on this one.
