Excellent! My stepdad abuser was a therapist, made me blind to therapy abuse. I wasted 20 years with therapists who I think could spot the problem easily but purposely kept me hooked. I was never asked about my childhood. It was mostly just letting me talk without directing me.
I did have one good therapist out of those 20 years. She did more for me in a year than in the 20 years. Also deliverance work.
I don’t trust therapists though. Especially without prayer now.
Yep, and it's the same for coaches. The goal of coaching is to teach clients skills, so they can then live a happier, healthier life without your help. If a client would stay for ages, I would feel like I've failed to do my job.
This post feels like someone took all the dusty old psychiatry textbooks, added a splash of dramatic thunder, and served it with a side of conspiracy sauce. I get it, betrayal hurts, and if someone used kindness as a currency to take advantage of your trust that’s messed up. Real trauma isn’t a fairy tale. Real healing doesn’t involve someone stuffing a velvet bag of your vulnerabilities and charging admission.
Not if you find a true one without a savior complex. It is hard but we exist. My goal is to get my clients out of my office. There are wayyy too many clients who need help. I have read your experience and understand your perspective here. Not all of us are good at what we do.
Ah ha!! I have come to the same conclusion after 30+ years of therapy. And I have gotten angry over it. I quit my therapy just this past October and challenged my diagnosis strongly. I told my husband that the mental health field is an industry, preying on those most vulnerable and revictimizing them continuously over the course of their treatment, all the while lining their pockets heavily. Therapy is a business with a business plan and strategy to keep clients coming back for years.
I finally had enough! No more!
I wrote my first post on Substack in December about my experience to sound the alarm. People are coming out of the woodwork saying the same thing.
It wasn't until I decided within my entire being that there was nothing "wrong" with me that needed diagnosing that I finally felt FREE of all of my mental health "issues".
Yes, I have experienced severe trauma as a child, but, I knew beyond a shadow of doubt this truth:
TRAUMA DOES NOT EQUAL MENTAL ILLNESS
I did all of my healing on my own, journaling, researching and reading about what I felt was going on inside me. No therapist brought me to my "healthy place", even though I was sitting under them, year after year.
I broke free.
I trust no therapist.
I am free of all diagnosis, not because they deemed "well", "having arrived", "healed".
Forever London’s Mother, I am so sorry that happened to your daughter and to you. That is unconscionable. I hope Cody can help you find a good attorney. Sending prayers to you. 🙏🏻💕

Well actually, I don’t trust anyone.
But especially therapists.

💯 which is why developing skills in discernment discernment discernment — and knowing that therapists? they are people too.
fellow sovereigns like you and me. fellow human beings.
they are not gods. they are not flawless. they are not meant to be outsourced proxies for your own intuition.
healing is not a subscription service.
it’s a relationship with yourself.
and sometimes? the therapist was a chapter, not the whole book.
stay awake. stay sovereign.
always choose resonance over routine.

No.
Because I declare it for myself.

I wasn’t counseled or asked to sign anything. She was put on 20mg Prozac, not 10mg as told. She died by suicide three weeks later. F12
