Does Counseling Cause Chaos? | Let's Discuss ”Bad Therapy”

Psychotherapists are out in the world to help people, right? But what if there are Licensed Psychotherapists out in the world who are making people’s mental health problems worse?

Well, that’s what author and journalist Abigail Shrier postulates in her book “Bad Therapy – Why kids aren’t growing up.” This book accuses therapists of harming people and children by:

• The rise in accessibility of treatment isn’t producing positive outcomes
• Not informing parents what is going on with their kids in therapy
• Not telling kids the risks of therapy, and that it can do harm
• Talking about feelings which can lead to increased rumination, anxiety and depression
• Recommending therapy to those who don’t need it
• Keeping people in therapy to keep an income stream for themselves
• Avoiding helping the truly mentally ill
• Selling a generation on the idea that everyone is sick
• Telling people everyone has trauma, when it’s really just “bad memories”
• Strong-arming their suggestions and judgments onto children

Thanks for hitting the 1000 parent interviews. It just dawned on me that maybe for every conversation that she had, if both parents were there, does that not count as 2 interviews? LOL!

There she goes again, at the 19:30 minute mark. Talking about how people just need a 'mental health day'. Why not? Air traffic controllers, doctors, police officers, you don't think they deserve a day away from the job to help with their mental health?? 🤬

So, again this time at the 29:50 mark, Abigail states that 'in almost every case' parents that sent their children to therapy for anxiety or depression the therapist 'participated and encouraged' in the young teens revelation that they are transgender. WTF?? How many cases were there Abigail? In almost every case? Really? What is that, like 2 out of 3? 7 out of 10? And where is this study that you are pulling from? 😖
