The worlds had a hundred years of psychotherapy and gotten worse too.
I found a good therapist five years ago. I found a bunch of bad to useless to barely useful before that. Most were well intentioned. All were really inadequate. Some were dangerous.
Ive got more good out of sitting smoking on a patio at a domestic violence shelter wirh razor fighting women. Intelligent sane women. Who carried razors. What a world They helped me a lot. They also stole my clothes, lol!. But they didnt retraumatise me or do secondary wounding to me. And they didnt bill me doctors rates to act out repressed hatred on me.
