yea ok but the majority of instances where people complain about bad therapists, it's usually desperate and otherwise seemingly honest and normal people who have no reason to lie about or not engage with the process
there are definitely well meaning people with bad therapists
this does not mean that bad patients don't also exist
the point i'm making is that the majority of complaints (or at least the kind of complaints you see on here) are being made by people who are neurodivergent or disabled in some other way and are experiencing shitty therapists. i am specifying this because blaming bad patients can extremely easily slide into simply denying genuine complaints that these people have
Admitting that bad patients exist doesn't automatically erase the shitty experiences that other people have.
of course it doesn't, but it's used that way so you can understand my jumpiness around it
Absolutely! Automatically writing people off isn't a great strategy, especially for therapy.
