      Unironically a good idea. I saw a lot of therapists as a kid, and many of them were more fucked up than I was.

      I had one trying to help me “recover” memories of CSA by vividly describing her own experiences of CSA. 80% of the therapy I do now is to recover from therapy then.

          Dr Phil isn’t allowed to practice anymore - he started treating a college freshman for anxiety and depression, gave her a job and then started fucking her.

          What he does on television has done immense damage to understandings of mental health. That bullshit disgusting tough love, while at the same time being a hypocritical creep and serial adulterer. Send his ass to Turnabout Ranch.
