But what happens when the therapeutic relationship itself becomes harmful?\nIn this episode of The Other Side of Therapy, I explore what therapy abuse is, why it can be so difficult to recognize, and how it differs from unethical, incompetent, or simply ineffective therapy. We discuss the unique power imbalance that exists in therapy, how that power can be misused, and why survivors often struggle to name what happened to them.\nWhether you’re a client, therapist, or someone supporting a loved one, this episode offers an introduction to a conversation that isn’t talked about nearly enough.\nIn this episode:\n\nWhat therapy abuse isThe difference between poor therapy and abuseThe power imbalance in the therapeutic relationshipWhy therapy abuse can be confusing and difficult to identifyThe emotional impact on survivorsWhy ethics and accountability matterHope for healing after therapy harmThis podcast is dedicated to thoughtful conversations about trust, ethics, accountability, and healing.
