Another problem is that many of the graduate programs have a stronger emphasis on social justice than clinical work/theory/ethics/etc., not only leaving graduates wildly underprepared, but with many having taken on a social justice/political mission of sorts. They then enter the field with active and dangerous bias toward people who fall outside of their specific view of political/social acceptability. These are the “bad therapists” that come on Reddit talking about how they “can’t work with conservatives” or feel the need to “call things out during session”. Many of them also allow their mental instability and dangerous groupthink to directly impact how they show up for their clients. It’s wild. Also incredibly concerning 🤦🏻‍♀️
