dear DocJohn and other admins and moderators
is there any way we could create a sub forum for psychotherapy abuse? for lack of a better term... I find it triggering when I log on and see so many articles about it in the main psychotherapy forum. I've been checking the forum less and less because of this of course this is just a request... take it or leave it love, junkDNA __________________ |

This request comes up every so often and never goes anywhere. Therapy abuse is intertwined with all things therapy. Why not have a happy therapy subforum? I don't think it is a good idea. Isn't it just as easy not to read threads you don't want to read?

To me, if there's a Romantic Feelings for my Therapist subforum, there could certainly be a Therapist Abuse one. I understand how just seeing the topic titles in the main Psychotherapy could be triggering.

You could make that same argument for not having a romantic feelings subforum. If some people find it beneficial to have these types of topics in a subforum, I don't see why that should be a problem.

I do think the same thing about the romantic feelings.
At some point, I think it just gets silly to keep separating things out. But that is just me. __________________ Please NO @ Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.

A better term has evolved from discussions here -- therapy trauma. I don't have time to write more now but I think it would be helpful to use that term and possibly iatrogenisis.

I also want to say that I didn't make this thread to argue about anything with anyone. I don't want a debate. it is just a request and like I said... take it or leave it

Jdna—I would PM DocJohn and the admins about this. They don’t read every post (no one could) and might not know this was here.

Also it seems like there's often a big argument when someone who has not had a bad experience with therapy posts in those threads. |

It would be nice to have a sub forum there seems to be allot of interest and a need for it.

I have to agree while I skip many topics that do not pertain to me, at one point there were 7 different threads on the topic of therapist sbuse. Honestly, that was why I started the post about the benefits of therapy.

I agree. I think this request has been made multiple times by multiple members and it would be nice if perhaps administration considered this option.

And I like the idea of giving it a title that makes most sense to those who would benefit from it. Seems like Therapy Trauma appears to be the preference? Not sure.

Therapy trauma and iatrogenic harm are two terms that the OP of one recent thread used. Sounds like a good title -- Therapy Trauma and Iatrogenic Harm -- to me. That person lives in Europe though, so may not have had a chance to chime in.

Just adding my two cents-
People keep referencing the romantic therapy subforum, but it doesn't make sense that forum even exists. Most of those discussions it contains are about transference or therapy abuse (eg sexual relations, boundary crossings), not romantic feelings. While discussions in the main forum area are also about transference and boundary crossings and being friends with your therapist. People discussing their idealization of a therapist is discussed in both sections. All the extra forums and subforums at this site leads to slow moving threads/forums because there are already too many categories. For example, we have: Health Support Disabilities and Chronic Diseases* Chronic Pain Support The same exact topics would be posted in all 3 subforums, and so all 3 would appear 'slow' or 'dead'. Slow forums deter me from posting, so I think the extra forums can deter conversations. *There are only 3 threads in this entire forum, and one is has the topic of pain, which could easily go in the pain forum. Another thread is about diabetes, which could go in the chronic diseases forum. Why have all these forums if the topics are the same? The topic of abuse, such as childhood abuse, is intermixed with in session discussions and threads throughout the forum so unsure how certain types of abuse can be separated. It's good to know certain thread titles may trigger people, as I will now adjust any related thread titles to help minimize. |
