A skilled T wouldn't. It goes against their code of effects. Plus they help you with your issues that often times comes out as an attack on a T.
A T doesn't have a certain limit of humanity. They are humanity.

It's very different when a therapist invalidates someone vs a non-therapist. There are other layers of betrayal and violation. I have a great therapist now, but have had many more who were incompetent and harmful.
Sometimes, I get the sense that when someone is hurt by a therapist and shares it here, they're reminded that not all therapists are like that. To me, that's no different than a rape or abuse victim being told not all men are like that, or not all parents. No, they are not all like that, but that's not the point. The point is someone who is hurt needs support, just like anyone on here who gets validation when it's a family member or non-therapist who's done the harm.
