But therapy itself is not what is harmful to people...bad/incompetent therapists are. Therapy might not work for some people, and indeed it might bring up some painful feelings and memories (depending on what kind of therapy you are doing and why you are there), and of course attachment and transference may become complicated and painful, but that is an entirely different matter.
