In reply to Anonymous. Hello and thank you for your question. Abuse is not restricted to a certain age, so it is certainly possible. Best to reach out to a professional in your area with whom you can process and explore what you are dealing with.

Is it still emotional abuse if parents withhold love from their children 18 or up? Because it’s breaking my soul and crushing it to death when they don’t love me back anymore 😭

This was an excellent article, at least until this part:

“If you need anything more evidential, look no further than the first 2020 presidential debate.”

Yeah, Sleepy Joe understood that he didn’t have to do much there, since the Democrats knew that they had the election rigged in numerous ways no matter how the debate went. 🤭

Comment on Did You Know You Can Earn (up to) $135,000 As An Online Therapist with BetterHelp? by Grace

Please keep in mind that in order to get 30 hours per week, you have to see 40 clients because Betterhelp sessions are limited to 45 minutes. Once you account for no-shows, problems with connecting, clients who need to leave a few minutes early, and taking a couple of minutes between sessions to refresh you are really looking at scheduling more than 40 clients or you are extensively using the message system. Don’t think you are going to write one message like a newsletter and copy it to all your clients. This is not allowed. Also, keep in mind that although you do not have to do any billing and BH discourages letter writing, you still have to do whatever paperwork is required by your license. Progress notes, treatment plans, consents, etc. still have to be done. BH is wonderful for some people, but do your homework before getting involved.

In reply to Ava. Hi Ava - often we need a counselor to process things like this with. Suggestions depend on a number of factors, not the least of which is whether you are an adult or a child. I would encourage you to reach out to a therapist in your area.

In reply to Lorelei. Thank you for your comment, but this isn't entirely accurate. I have been compelled by a judge to testify. I assure you, they have the power to do this in certain situations, especially where children are involved. Thank you very much for reading!

Good article with some good points. One misconception, however, is that a judge can compel a therapist to testify in court. All judges acknowledge the “privileged” communication between a client and therapist – which is why a judge CANNOT compel a therapist to testify unless the client has signed a consent to release information.

I love that you talked that you should be aware of the triggers of this mental health concern for safety. My best friend mentioned a couple of nights ago that he was hoping to find a therapy that could help him heal from negative criticism from his workplace, and he asked if I had any idea what would be the best option to consider. I appreciate this helpful article, I’ll tell him that consult narcissistic abuse therapy for more information about the recovery process.
