I agree with you. I also think that the overall risks of therapy are brushed off or minimized. One therapist I saw had risks listed on his intake form, although he did not verbally convey them to me.

Then again, it was no different when I had surgery. Risks were listed on the consent form, but no one initiated discussion about these risks (although I did ask).

While I was harmed from therapy once, I would have never thought to ask about risks. But I might have ignored them anyway if told, who knows.

There is so much emphasis on risk for psychotropics, but it's rare (at least in my experience), to hear anyone emphasize the risks of psychotherapy.
