[quote=Anonymous] I agree with others that therapists are not pushing this. In fact, my therapist lost money when I started distancing. Even though the bad behavior escalated, over time the relief I felt was pure therapy. I didn't need therapy anymore because the relationships I actually chose were healthy. I saved money on medical issues too and started aging backward a bit. I think a big issue nobody seems to touch on is the emotional and physical shift from people no longer tolerating abuse. People used to endure abuse and become more depressed and physically sick. Now the shift is put onto the abuser to deal with their own mental health issues rather than dumping. They try to find new people to dump on and suddenly more people see the dark side and retract. So instead of the scapegoat suffering, the now the abuser is suddenly faced with facing the consequences of their actions.[/quote]
