I am seeing a very troubling issue that appears to be pretty common… where mental health professionals, are taken in by abusive people’s manipulation, lies and games..
Which just goes to show, how getting a degree, does not mean someone has insight, or capacity to work people like narcissists out, at all. More added reasons, why abuse continues, when even the ‘professionals’ can’t work out, detect and help the abusers.
This is very troubling to me. Especially when the professionals, will just often dis-regard what the victims is saying, using instead their ‘mental health’ as the perfect excuse.
When often, the victim has a far greater capacity to work out abusive, narcissistic people, than the professionals ever will.
And this will be why victims of abuse, are often be re-traumatised by professionals as well. Because the abuse is minimized, and portrayed as being ‘not that bad’ – by professionals – who have no clue as to the damage these abusive people can truly cause.
I have had so many survivors of abuse letting me know this has occurred to them. Which seriously bothers me, and my desire for abuse survivors to be receiving the appropriate help and support needed….not being re-traumatised and re-victimised, by so called professionals.
Its bad enough trying to deal with the abusers, their apaths, society’s wrong views, ignorance, stigma, all the perpetrator protecting, and religious abuse…..without needing to be concerned with professionals hurting you as well.
*sigh.
