I was an extreme gung-ho therapy supporter until treatment went off rails. I don't wish it on anyone, but it's a club one can involuntarily join quite unexpectedly. PC-ers have told me they were grateful for my skeptical perspective when they found themselves harmed by a therapist.

Unraveling harmful therapy has been far more complicated for me than growing past an abusive family. We had reasons for entering therapy, so exploitative therapy throws us a double load. My discussion is no mere venting, it's an active exploration and search for understanding and perspective, just as most of us do with our childhoods. I needed to talk myself down from seeing my therapist as divinity. I think a more realistic perspective would have left the worst of it far less damaging.
