Therapy Abuse: A Problem that is Increasing at an Alarming Rate

WARNING: Talking about Abuse of Clients by Therapist. Some of this material may be triggering to folks who have experienced this.”

Therapist Abuse is emerging from the shadows and with it recognition of the profound ways it impacts on clients.

These conversations are important because as Amy said, “There is wide-spread unethical conduct happening in the psychotherapy field that leaves clients in a worse place than when they started.”
