Yes absolutely agree. And they don't even have to try to break you it seems. Can happen just because they are applying theories and ideologies without awareness or without skill.
I think psychotherapy, psychiatry, and conventional medicine all have pronounced cultic aspects, in that people just do not question the orthodoxies, and the practitioners wield far too much power over individuals and the whole culture.
My take is that every mental health diagnosis should be viewed with skepticism at least, and in many cases should be be rejected outright by the patient.
Sorry you went thru that.
