On this note, I have been reading Jordon B Peterson's "12 Rules for Life". He recounts incidents such as the one you refer to. In his opinion, it often fits a particular psychologist or psychiatrist's "theory" that sexual abuse must lie at the root of a person's problem, and thus the "therapist" will set out to find such suppressed memories with the belief that they MUST be there, even if in fact they aren't. It is all to easy to convince a patient that this is the case, sadly. After all, most folk seeking therapy for mental health issues are vulnerable people. Currently, I am personally seeing a grief counsellor, and a psychologist. I HAVE to put my trust in these people, and an unscrupulous therapist could quite easily manipulate someone in my situation, except I am not that deep in the hole, and, I should add, have no issues with either person, nor am I holding back on my issues, which most people seem to do.Quote:

It must be noted: In no way am I defending TRUE sexual predators. They DO exist. But **** sticks.
