Therapists & pdocs should be required attend at least 1 workshop every year and should be regularly assessed in order to maintain their licenses.

There are just too many awful human beings who happen to be therapists/pdocs. For example, my old therapist used to lie to me, and her "help" was often questionable. I would argue that she doesn't deserve to be a therapist.

Now, assessments would be easy. Every counseling office would give patients an assessment form to fill out every "X" visits (e.g., every 5 visits). The assessment form would be created by the agencies who give out psychiatry & therapy licenses. If a therapist or pdoc continues to "fail" their assessments, they will be investigated by those agencies. If the offending pdoc/therapist is found to be incompetent, their license gets revoked.
