Can we PLEASE stop pretending that therapy is safe and all therapists who hurt people are just abberrations that have no bearing on anything systemic?
Therapy can be really good for people it’s good for but…
It’s not safe, and it’s actually a really messed up culture, and the danger is especially large for marginalized people especially if they have a cognitive disabilities or are otherwise in danger of being institutionalized.
Also I was in therapy of one kind it another for most of the ages of like… 7-19.
It only did bad things. Even the more benign ones simply were not helpful.
Meeting other people who had been there did more for me in a tiny amount of time than all those years of therapy ever did.
