My issue is that a select few throw stereotypes and generalisations around. This is where - and how - prejudice and discrimination originate. So, no, I am afraid it doesn't sit well (for me) to lump any one category of people together & condemn them all. There are dedicated Ts out there and it is a shame to castigate the whole lot.
My issue is thus solely about pre-judging a whole group of people and a whole profession. I can't even explain how disturbing I find such behaviour. That's all I was trying to say.

Well, therapy as a profession deeply disturbs me. I find it dysfunctional and harmful. I am glad it doesn't go against the guidelines here for some of us to express our opinions about that.
I am very disturbed by the tremendous harm it can do and how that is ignored by many therapists and many consumers of therapy. I also no longer feel the need to defend my position. It is what it is for me. I am extremely glad that I am no longer believe in therapy. LOL. I feel very free and have done so much better without thinking that a therapist can help me.
