My damage from therapy happened long before my co-therapists became so enraged and tried to intimidate me into staying with them. Had I been viewed my dynamic with them more objectively, I like would have had far less damage. Had I understood how infantilizing the relationship, I might not have consented. Had I been aware that my "treatment" was haphazard faith healing rather than science, I never would have allowed my therapists authority. So I'm grateful for sharing critical thinking, even after the fact.
I'd hope that therapy would encourage a tolerance of differing experiences, particularly since nothing of consequence results from these discussions. The more these threads appear a "threat" to some, the more it confirms MY experience-- that therapy was no more than an illusory exercise.
