This has absolutely no place in the world and makes me very very angry. I am readying myself for the backlash. But no religion, that is NO religion, is right to tell you that you can't be who you are. Embrace the person you were meant to be and cut out of your life those who fail to encourage you to be so.

I read a post elsewhere by an individual struggling in the wake of horrible people in their life that tell them to be a person they are not and I am left absolutely livid.

Im a victim of it, when i used to go to church. I am glad that there will be bans put in place to prevent this practice to ever happen. I was dealing with confusion because allot of the abuse i had done to me was by my mom, so I got counsoled in the church by a pastoral counsellor. Not knowing what was right or wrong i stayed there for 7 years. I am now getting proper therapy and im just now starting to work through this damage done to me. The church has no place to counsole on this issue period, it's dangerous.

Thankfully it is discouraged by major medical associations. Unfortunately that doesn't always stop it from happening though.

Children involved in this situation are manipulated by all adults including those responsible for rescuing. The whole counseling is focused on bearing the end result in minds,which is unbroken family.So everybody spends their energy on gaslighting the child and convincing abuse is normal.It is easier for them.
