[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this is an abusive relationship, counseling not only may not help, but may make things worse. Abusers are notorious for being able to manipulate the therapy process to make themselves into the victim and conceal the abuse, which then results in the therapy process effectively telling the victim it's their fault.[/quote] So anyone who is in a relationship with issues should avoid counseling because some abusers manipulate the therapeutic process? Really?[/quote] No, the person in a potentially abusive relationship should get individual counseling, and shouldn't get couples counseling until they've gotten a better handle on what's going on. And it's not just some abusers, it's lots of abusers. The odds are against it being a helpful thing for OP, and it could make things much, much worse.[/quote]
