And that is exactly what happened to me. Incompetent, corrupt and unethical therapists who literally repeated my trauma. They'll say it's our problem and is pathological, they'll intentionally repeat the trauma (knowing that repeat offenses by multiple sources makes us look like the common denominator) then sinply say it is a pattern of behavior on our part. It's as though being vulnerable attracts abuse; and it does according to a lot of trauma research. There's the repitition compulsion, there's the self fullfilling prophecy, then there's just the plain old fact that human nature tends to prey on the weak and vulnerable; irregardless if they are therapists or not. Just because they swore an oath to be unethical does not mean they will be.
Makes me sick to my stomach when we meet against ignorance and invalidation for something that is VERY OBVIOUSLY GOING ON. The healthcare system has been getting away with no accountability for far too long and now that they have a long list of victims and survivors saying the same thing, they've set the precedent for social movements and change in policy and legislation.
