Because recovering from harmful therapy is like cult recovery. In fact, therapy, excavating my painful childhood memories, was a cakewalk compared to recovery. Recovery has been exponentially more painful, has taken far more strength, honesty and courage than therapy itself.

And, I wish I'd had the information and support when I was going through the worst of it.

And, many of us found no support from practitioners themselves who appear terrified of the topic. I've yet find any literature that discusses recovery. Very little of their literature discusses harm in therapy and much of it blames the client.

And since this is a forum devoted to ...psychotherapy...I surmise I'm as entitled to be here as anyone else.

PS. The discomfort here around the topic mirrors what we've received from providers. We've seen it; we're used to it.
