I'm not comfortable posting about it here where it stays up permanently, if someone here could PM me to provide an objective opinion it would be much appreciated.

Hello. Unless therapy is involuntary, you can leave if you're uncomfortable, regardless of whether someone else says your therapy is ethical. One yardstick is whether the therapy itself becomes the issue or causes more problems than it solves.

My co-therapists were extremely hurtful and harmful, yet a state board found their practices within ethical bounds. The professional associations have vague definitions of harm outside a small number of blatant taboos.

Conventional advise proclaims"talk it over with your therapist." However I think if a therapist is harmful or instinct says the conversation outcome only would be more damaging, it might be best simply to leave.

Some resources:
You can write these people. I found them extremely helpful.
TELL: Therapy Exploitation Link Line

Other sites and reading:
How therapists abuse their clients
Treatment Abuse Checklist ? Surviving Therapist Abuse
Clients

All the best.

If you're not comfortable, you can leave like MissBella said. If it's your choice to go to therapy.

I'm sorry I can't help, or advise anything new or helpful. I didn't want to be a viewer without sending a hug your way. What ever your situation is, I truly hope you get the answers you need.
