I had a very bad experience with a therapist. Saw her for 7 years & it wasn't until I ended up broken that I realized how destructive she was I thought it was just me but bad therapy is the norm, I've learned.
My guess is she thought he was inferior due to not having a job and his mom paying for therapy. He likely confessed some deepest darkest opinions to her. In her mind this excused her toxic therapy.
Therapists are so status obsessed that they simply are incapable of helping people. And most of all COMPETITIVE. Competitive, one upping control freaks were never made for caring for vulnerable people.
Its often sexual without actual sex, doesn't matter if therapist is too old or too young. Their clients often fall in love with them & they encourage it.
Theres another political spectrum that is very real and runs very deep.
Quoting: LuckyLou I've only heard of one good experience with therapy. After a health issue from a drug with a black box warning, a friend started with a clear plan action and a set end time (6-9 months later) Therapy worked and she moved on with her life.
But before my husband, I know of 2 other people who ended up much worse after 4 or more years of it.
Hope things are back on track for you.
"Sexual without the actual sex." Exactly, perfect way to put it.
I guess I see this therapist as having superpowers now with new revelation about her Father.
Before I just saw her as a hack. (bad yelp reviews yet somehow she's always booked)
In some ways the whole thing is much more toxic because of her social distancing rules.
Husband can't see her in person and forbids me to be remotely near his home office when talking to her.
