Don't get me wrong, I like her very much. She is really great in treating trauma related stuff.

But I also left her with confusion about myself.

Well also to be blunt like Beth... she sounds like an asshole. I don’t mean to be like that but she is advocating against science. There is scientific evidence that mental illnesses have a genetic basis and a first line treatment is medication. Medication and therapy are ideal but then there are also people who have been traumatized by therapists so what about them? I don’t think they are hopeless just because they take medication and don’t do therapy.
