5/26/2021

It's been almost ten years since I was drawn to Gabriel Byrne's complex character and talked about the relationships on the program with my own therapist. A lot has changed since then and I'm trying to understand what led me to report that therapist to the Board of Health Professionals in 2020. Read more about my experience.

1) They violate boundaries.
2) They lack empathy for your pain and engage in victim-blaming and shaming.
