What is sad is to read again and again about generalisation that every single therapist on earth is the devil incarnate. It is a judgmental, narrow-minded viewpoint and factually inaccurate. But seemingly, therapy and therapist-bashing is all right on here.
If that's what someone's experience has been, what better place to air that out? Some people need to work out their experiences, and find others who might feel the same way. I feel like it's a good thing to make space for a whole range of opinions. And I think it's ultimately healthier for people to have an outlet than to have to hide their opinions - and for me, I'm glad to read a whole gamut of opinions. I think it provides a much fuller picture of what therapy is like for people to have some people voicing their extreme disgruntlement alongside others who may have a rosier view.
Thanks for this!
