Antis who proudly proclaim they’re going to become a therapist so they can shut down and manipulate and unethically target all the ‘nasty proshippers’ make me laugh because they’re going to get two months into any sort of qualifying course and be slapped in the face by the reality that therapists are obligated to remain objective and impartial and will lose their license if they’re found to be using their position to be unfairly bias or negatively target clients based on their own personal beliefs and values.

“Objectivity helps counsellors avoid personal biases and allows them to focus on the client’s needs without imposing their own beliefs or values.”
– American Counselling Association

“Therapy should feel like an inclusive and safe place for clients. Clients need to feel safe and supported in their work. And while all therapists have inherent biases and personal preferences, it is never appropriate for them to engage in discrimination, racism, sexism, or other forms of prejudice with clients.”
– Medcircle

You do not get into therapy to correct people. You get into therapy to help them. Therapy is not about the therapist.

You do not get into therapy to correct people.

Therapy is not to make people “normal” to your specifications!

Therapy is to make them feel better and stronger in themselves!
