If you suffered CSA, would you be able to work with a T who previously "treated" offenders?
See a T that specifically spent several years trying to do therapy with sex offenders?
Something about going from "treating" offenders to helping victims/survivors is odd to me.... especially when studies have shown that almost 50% of sex offenders are rearrested for some crime and therapy only reduces the recidivism rate <20%.

I know that many offenders were victims themselves, but they made a choice to hurt someone else and therefore became offenders, in a different category. Most victims do not.

It makes me question how "sincere" a therapist can be if they can play sides of such an extreme dichotomy of abuser/victim.
