All therapy is just made up ****. Sometimes some things help some people. For me, there is no difference in any of these. Some I might have have tried and some I would not. But I don't see any of them as being more or less legitimate therapy than any others.

I have no problem with people doing what the find helpful, whether it be the services she offers or something different. What object to is the dishonesty inherent in labelling what she does talking therapy. I had to get deep into the small print to discover she's not qualified in any way.
Whatever you think of therapy, and I agree it's as made up as the next thing, there are definite expectations about what it is and isn't, in the minds of the consumers, and in the definitions provided by the APA. One such expectation is that there is somebody to complain to should harm occur, another is that the therapist will have a certain standard of training. Whatever you think of therapy, therapy this ain't. And in my view to present it as such is misleading, dishonest and potentially harmful. |

I have had interactions with him before and I don't have a particular desire to confront him on this. I am just expressing my opinion on what I read, not expressing my desire to become an investigative journalist.

She doesn't concern me the slightest as who would go to her for therapy and two she charges $400 an hour. More concerning are therapists who market for reparenting that reaches vulnerable populations, even the way attachment is framed as that can really mess people up.
I didn't mean to stir up controversy-it seemed to be a good addition to this thread. Maybe a new thread could be started if it's redirecting the focus. |

Anything called therapy can really mess people up it seems. A person sitting in an empty room who never speaks beyond "mmhmm" can mess some people up.

I personally see much more potential harm behind many Ts that claim to be super ethical and professional (and they are not) than in what is obviously, openly outrageous.

I am reminded of "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle-Stop Café," where Kathy Bates goes to a liberation-therapy-type class where women squat over mirrors looking at their nether regions.

Anyone can call themselves a therapist and the sex therapy lady doesn't claim to be licensed, but she does claim she is focused on therapeutic healing for her clients, and claims they get better. I don't see any reason to doubt that she has helped these men and delivers what she promises, otherwise the clients would be chasing her and they seem like the kind of clients who can sue or otherwise engage the consumer fraud resources if they needed to. I would not see an unlicensed therapist but I don't see any problems if someone else does, and the argument that people might get hurt by her therapy doesn't seem any more compelling than people being hurt by licensed therapists. The possibility of harm doesn't overcome a person's right (in America) to run a business that is not against the law or fraudulent or holding themselves out to be something they are not. She can practice whatever it is she does and so can licensed therapists, and if people are harmed, they have options that may compensate them for that harm.

There are also massage therapists of all kinds... or escorts who advertise to be the client's girlfriend, confidant, best friend, whatnot. Relaxation and pleasant company is pretty therapeutic after all.

Hairdressers and Bartenders are also known for it.

There are also what they call "sober companions" for recovering addicts and some are licensed counselors or therapists:
Sober companion - Wikipedia So for sex addicts, perhaps such a sober companion would perhaps do the opposite of what the naked T does... somehow. I don't know about sex but when I was freshly sober, I would have paid quite a decent amount if someone could have just magically but reliably erased my cravings. People did not make it happen unfortunately. |
