Hey talk

Also what does it mean for therapy to 'work'.

Sometimes it can seem like it's working but in the big picture it is not.

Slapping a bandaid on a wound only makes things worse if it's festering unseen below the surface.

I thought the suggestions of "What To Do" were too simplistic and should've tried to further explore why clients may not be able to easily stop the harmful therapy, tell someone, complain, or choose the right therapist. 

Totally agree. For some clients, they may be torn.

You may know it's not helpful or even harmful but you can be addicted. Emotional dependancy can be very strong and also it's easy to justify. Is it really wrong... 

I think we can be desensitised too. So we can tolerate more unethical therapy before we would really admit it's truly wrong.

therapists are.... a mixed bag of lollies
