I definitely felt more low self worth and trauma in AA. The sponsors usually don't have any type of degree in MI. I can though, after enough time passes, just think of bad T as incompetent more than malicious. I used to hate therapy so much that I'd go high or carrying a big mixed drink. Now that I'm sober and compliant it's more frustrating. I'm not even sure to be a T you have to get a graduate degree. I know they have different accreditations behind their name. I was a bit relived to learn they all have to get their license updated, which I hope involves advanced therapy studies and testing.
