Yes, my gut now says, run as completely as you can away from those people.
Does that mean that years and years of therapy "helped" me get in touch with my gut? No, I think it was some people posting in this forum with views about therapy that were contrary to what therapists said about themselves and their profession that started to clue me in. And the more I looked at that, the more it realistically matched my experience. The gut started waking up, despite the horror of realizing how much time and hope I had wasted on my previous view of therapy, which therapists had encouraged and exploited.
