or perhaps it might just be that those people who have good experiences with therapy and have not been harmed are not dealing with as severe of issues as those who have had negative or harmful experiences???
from what i have noticed by reading these stories over and over again, is that many of the clients who have had adverse experiences tend to struggle more with very early childhood traumas, including cPTSD, developmental truama, sexual abuse, and attachment/abandonment issues. for me, this makes me question whether it has more to do with incompetency, Ts who are severely lacking in an extensive training and understanding to both the physiological and developmental damage that such early trauma can inflict upon young and developing brains. because of this lack of knowledge, these Ts are most likely (inadvertently and/ or ignorantly) causing more damage than good.
