Hi ArtleyWilkins, Yes, as Atisketatasket said - I meant that currently, the mental health profession does not have a specific modality that cators to survivors of abuse in therapy, therefore, people who have been abused in therapy should expect difficulty finding effective and ethical treatment. That is an issue for MANY reasons, not just ethical ones. Thanks, HD7970ghz

And there is an inherent conflict of interest in this scenario. The therapist has a vested interest in defending therapy foundations, while the client is best served by a full and open examination of the entire process and all underpinnings and assumptions. Good luck with that. |

Hi Comrademoomoo, You make an excellent point! While PTSD is typically a standardized treatment, it does include varying modalities. Internal Family Systems (Parts Therapy) EMDR DBT Regression therapy CBT These are known to be effective therapy modalities for trauma. While each could be used to help heal trauma, some are known to be more effective than others. For instance, I have heard that EMDR can be very effective for single trauma PTSD, whereas it has been said that those with multi-traumas (or Complex PTSD) can be more easily retraumatized. Budfox alluded to some of the complexities surrounding retrauma in therapy, when survivors of abuse in therapy seek out help in subsequent therapy. I agree with 100% with Budfox, which also brings us to the problem. Why should there be a specific therapy modality tailored to survivors of therapy abuse? Because the survivor is entering into a traumatic environment from the get go, whereas most clients walk into therapy and believe it is safe. This changes the entire dynamic. Complex problems include things like self-fulfilling prophecies and repetition compulsions, negative countertransference, toxic workplace cultures (fear and intimidation) that carry out Institutional Betrayal smear campaigns in order to suppress and intimidate survivors into silence. Also add in that simply being that vulnerable increases the likelihood of revictimization and or retraumatization. For example: I believe I read a peer reviewed research paper somewhere that states 23% of incest survivors will experience sexual exploitation in therapy; and an additional 23% will be exploited in different ways. So 46% of incest survivors will experience some kind of exploitation in seeking help in therapy.... Care to know why? Because they are vulnerable, and therapists have a position of power with absolutely zero accountability. The reasons for doing this can vary, although, it is primarily legal. Careful supervision, ethical practise, genuine safety and privacy is a MUST for treating survivors of therapy abuse. These are things that the system struggles to maintain. I believe researching abuse in psychotherapy, would force the mental health profession to acknowledge the cultural and systemic corruption, which might shine a spotlight on how the system fails. Well - a trauma survivor cannot heal from abuse in therapy unless the trauma survivor feels safe, and can trust the therapist. I would recommend an article about this topic on therapyabuse.org. It explores the many problems that survivors face when seeking help in therapy for therapy abuse. It is very complex and highly dependent on individual cases and where and from whom the survivor seeks help. Check out that website it is filled with valuable insights. This system is simply broken. Think any Government wants to admit to hiring sexual predators? Nope. And they rarely ever do admit, unless there is irrefutable evidence. Pretty hard to do that when one is so vulnerable and the person treating them is literally trained to help OR harm the cĺient, and the only thing standing in the way of helping or harming is mere choice. If they decide to abuse - the majority of the system responds by covering up the abuse, blaming and shaming the victim, and protecting the perpetrator which inadvertently creates a culture that normalizes corruption and abuse. Healthcare providers have the ability to abuse with absolute impunity. And they do. Thanks, HD7970ghz

Read this excerpt from an interesting article written by Chaya Grossberg, found here:

I'm not sure that a true psychiatry/medicine of the soul is needed as much as more people in general "waking up" to their/our numbed out pains, which leads to perpetrations and then accusations, even if the accusations are justified. It's just that accusations. . .are they really effective? It seems like what would be a "medicine of the soul" for me is if somebody could sit with me in my pain. The last therapist terminated me because she didn't "have the emotional resources" (her words) to do that. Maybe/probably she hadn't felt or dealt with her own pain. And there are no certifications or licenses that a client can depend on to find a therapist who can. |

Hi Budfox, I would convince the Government to fund pamphlets in every therapist's office, hospital, police station, advocacy organization, mental health forum, etc. Thanks, HD7970ghz

I've been stalked electronically for over a decade by a sicko psychologist (and a colleague of his) who thinks this is a form of therapy. I was briefly a student of his over 15 years ago and he's been obsessed with me ever since. I can't tell if he's addicted to attacking me or just addicted to committing the crime, or maybe it's both. I do know this is connected with my being discriminated against while I was in school, and he blamed me for the whole mess and he's been punishing me for it ever since. I thought it was over, but he appears to be right back at it, with his friend in tow.

I recommend being very careful approaching police. They usually just say, "What does the psychiatrist say?" If you go that route, I would recommend seeking legal council first, having them help you write a report and make sure the police don't just chalk this up to mental illness. There is a reason why they don't have as much power as psychiatry. PSYCHIATRY provides ample control and wiggle-room for abusers in power, by providing present day societies biggest loophole: THE INVENTION OF FABRICATED EVIDENCE, WHICH SOMEHOW STANDS UP IN A COURT OF LAW, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY ZERO EVIDENCE TO PROVE THAT A PSYCHIATRIST'S OPINION IS TRUE OR NOT. Psychiatry is an industry that is literally designed to create evidence out of thin air. They base this evidence on a foundation of knowledge that is constantly changing - and then they claim that an opinion is evidence, and therefore, it stands up in a court of law... Does anyone else see how pathetic this system is? It is literally designed to protect perpetrators. There is FAR more incentive to be unethical in that system, than to be ethical. Lots of room for corruption in those power dynamics, and despite the fact that this has been abused and proven countless times - the majority of the public is still stuck on, "Why would a psychiatrist want to harm you?" Simple answer: Because they can. Because they are human and they are able to benefit from it - whether that be monetarily, a feeling of empowerment and control over others, career advancements and political favors, fear of retaliation for doing the right thing, etc. Absolutely disgustingly broken system. But we must be paranoid, right? Hmm. Our entire legal establishment needs a serious kick in the butt, and along with it includes Law Enforcement, Judicial Systems, Child Protection Services, Healthcare, Psychiatry, etc. Netflix's exclusive, "Making a Murderer," is a pinpoint accurate depiction of the truth behind closed doors, and that same principle can be applied to every Government establishment and or Institution that affords employees with all the power in the world and absolutely ZERO accountability. But I must be paranoid. Okay then lol. Is everyone who is ever made aware of the truth behind closed doors, labelled paranoid? Thanks, HD7970ghz

Just FYI: Be sure you are utilizing legitimate and respected sources.
Daily Mail - Media Bias/Fact Check |

Your source a few articles back is from The Daily Mail which is why I provided the Media Bias/Fact Check link to that source. In the link I provided, the following is stated about this source: "In review, the Daily Mail tends to publish stories utilizing sensationalized headlines with emotionally loaded wordings such as “Woman, 63, ‘becomes PREGNANT in the mouth’ with baby squid after eating calamari”, which is a misleading headline. In 2017, Wikipedia banned the Daily Mail as an ‘unreliable’ source. When it comes to sourcing information they use minimal hyperlinked sourcing as well as sourcing to themselves. In general, most stories favor the right, however the Daily Mail will report either side if the story is sensational enough."
When you are passionate about a cause, it is important to also check your sources to be sure they are coming from media sources of a certain reliability. Otherwise, you inadvertently may end up weakening your argument because of poor source work. Last edited by FooZe; Feb 10, 2020 at 05:47 PM. Reason: administrative edit (removed quote) |

I've filed police reports on them but I can't prove anything. And the licensing board wouldn't do anything.

Again, not questioning your cause. Not sure why the long post to me about abuse and survivors. That wasn't my point. I was simply recommending you take care to double check your sources. This one I noted is pretty notorious for being considered highly unreliable and repeatedly considered discredited.
