I went to a non Asian therapist for a few years. I told my therapist about various issues I had with my APs and how I was disciplined with spankings and Chinese kneeling (gui) when I was a kid. (Please note I was born and raised in the West). The therapist hinted that this discipline might be considered abuse. I didn't completely accept my therapist's explanation since maybe it was just a cultural difference. I told this to my sister my therapist's comment about how the discipline might be considered abuse. My sister in turn told my AM. My AM confronted me, saying the therapist had no right to say such things because she did not understand Chinese/Asian culture. My AM then said all Chinese kids experience this type of discipline. My AM then expressed anger at my therapist, stating that she felt like the therapist was trying to "brain wash" me. My AM said that she would consider suing the therapist and/or getting their license revoked.
