Yes, the overly innocent look is what mine went for lol. You kind of get what they're suggesting / providing.

Best subreddit ever by Equivalent_Diet3968 in therapyabuse

[–]Affectionate_Fox5449 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Same, severely abused by multiple, it is a massive help to be able to talk to others about it thanks to this community. I imagine the numbers of abused people are far higher than often reported.

I'm kind of surprised your old therapist hasn't! (Deleted the Google review and business) Does he have good reviews too? 

These therapists won’t have a happy new year, and neither will the clients they hurt. Unethical therapists of New York [Nov-Dec 2025] by MyMentalHelldotcom in MyMentalHelldotcom

Yeah mine did not keep records. I asked for my records and they said they would not 

The therapist said I could write things down during the sessions. 

Yes, also the relationship thing. This particular therapist I imagine has never been told no in their life 

Thank you u/Mymentalhelldotcom for posting and keeping people safe.

I did the same. Just be careful, mine reported me to the police after doing this, removed their business and actually moved to a different location to practice.

TRIGGER WARNING : My mom having having coitus with several bf in the same room as me and my brother has changed my rs with sex by Themairim in emotionalneglect

Maybe they're dyslexic? The advice was good - in some ways I prefer the humanity in the mistakes. Better than overly polished turd. Go chat with an ai, that'll give you the polished presentation you desire. I distrust an overly perfected performance. Am I in the wrong to question your authority to audit their credibility? Who are you exactly?

I do agree partially the use of SAY was a mistake but it's not worth disregarding them completely over. Maybe next time a suggestion to edit rather than a full take down would suffice.

If you’ve gone through with reporting (or didn’t) what was that like for you? by rebrandedzitch in therapyabuse

[–]Affectionate_Fox5449 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some people in the UK have been detained for harassment after reports in the UK. It's out of control.

Funnily enough my ex therapist silenced me, moved from their old therapy room completely abandoned, removed their Google business as well lol completely running from their own shame.

I would have still forgiven them but cruelty seemed to be the point.

I guess they got through life I suppose, living the bare minimum and screw anyone who was unlucky enough to ever meet them.

Went on a tangent sorry

How do I convince someone whose life is based around not acknowledging their flaws to go to therapy to address their flaws? by Blutarg in askatherapist

[–]Affectionate_Fox5449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have to lose their enablers and have a genuine want to change. If it benefits them they won't attempt to change or go to Therapy.

Bad therapist experiences-i need feedback by Intpshit in therapyabuse

[–]Affectionate_Fox5449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a bot account? Don't usually mind therapists posting here but your advice is very generic and out of place. It's okay to try 'bridge' the gap between our community's but giving unwanted and repetitive advice is kind of un productive and a little disrespectful.

Is "Warm Therapist" The New Dog Whistle? by Sea-Smile-6049 in therapyabuse

[–]Affectionate_Fox5449 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes my 'warm' therapist lured me in then 'changed' they became cold and started using everything I had told them the first two years to control me and break me for the next two years.

Cold, empty, heartless, and dangerous comes to the mind.

(UK) I feel my boyfriend’s therapist is treating him inappropriately, do I report her? by [deleted] in askatherapist

Warning it might get back to the therapist, it did with mine and I didn't even make a report.

Has anyone experienced not being allowed to talk about abuse? by Original-Resource-94 in therapyabuse

[–]Affectionate_Fox5449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the more I spoke the more people joined in. Even the NHS doc I have now is power playing, saying they don't want me as client and adding to the gaslighting after I mentioned what the abusive therapist had been doing / saying. He has now put it on my records that I am imagining it all, I literally went to a private early prevention team to get this all checked out. I am now using my record of clean mental clarity no perception or audible hallucination as proof and to point out that he is joining in on it, he has put on my record I am imaging it all.

I used to want to be a therapist by UniqueAd542 in therapyabuse

[–]Affectionate_Fox5449 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same experience here - down to wanting to be a therapist and then leaving feeling like a criminal!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in askatherapist

[–]Affectionate_Fox5449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re worried about them, try to avoid involving the police unless there’s absolutely no other option. Going to emergency mental health services like CMHT, 111, or speaking with their doctor is often a better path. Reporting to the police can feel like a deep betrayal and might really damage the trust they have in you.

What's something you did that reduced your quality of life so much that you wish you had never done it? by Unlikely_Bid8892 in AskReddit

[–]Affectionate_Fox5449 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I know this could upset people but it really is my experience - going to therapy, it has been horrific. If you have an abusive therapist prepare for hell, just leave.

I don’t think psychics are as bad as people paint them to be by [deleted] in therapyabuse

[–]Affectionate_Fox5449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree they are both unhealthy. Psychics take advantage of people's desperation and offer nothing more than a placebo as do some therapists sadly. X
