Independent surveys, compilations of complaints, etc, puts the incidence of therapy experiences that are sufficiently problematic to take action at 5-10%. Even if we double that stat to have a margin to include those who were very unhappy about their experience, but didn't take any action about it, that leaves 80% not unsatisfied. This board is not a random sampling, so caution about general conclusions from reading threads is I think reasonable.

Also I have been in therapy for years and it hasn't helped, hence why I feel it may very well not help. And I don't think all therapists cross boundaries and what not, I don't recall having that problem....but yes based on some stuff here it would seem it is an issue so it makes me feel like i need to be careful about unethical therapists.
I am not basing my conclusion on this forum alone, its also personal experience...other things I have read and talking to people who have experienced issues in therapy.
