[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been harmed by therapy. It’s a profession with a lot of quacks, no quality control, and no accountability. And if it goes wrong they always blame the patient.[/quote]

It was an online therapist during Covid who put the idea into my kid’s head that transgenderism might fix everything. Out of nowhere.[/quote]
This happened to my son, too. He has OCD, with scrupulosity and gender focused anxiety, all exacerbated by puberty and the pandemic. He wondered aloud if he could be trans and she jumped right on it. Told him it was a big breakthrough, encouraged him to visit numerous gender affirming websites, etc. Interestingly, his anxiety and OCD symptoms increased. It was an elaborate extrication process getting him away from that quack. 1.5 years later, his OCD is well managed and he is 100% certain he is male and is comfortable and happy with that fact.[/quote]

If he can, it would be great for him to write a thoughtful letter to the therapist telling her how she totally missed the boat on what was happening with him at a difficult time in his life.  I think therapists hear a lot from trans kids who were not adequately supported so they’ve over-corrected and now some are over-supporting kids who aren’t actually trans.  [/quote]
