Sure, but we have good research that good psychotherapy works very well, not for the reasons people think it works, but because a healing relationship, containment, psychoeducation, and love help patients find their resilience.

Hi Joanie: Yes! It is already a work in progress. See the embedded link in the article. I recently renamed the association the International Association for Dissident Mental Health Professionals. https://nationalpsychotherapyassociation.weebly.com/. I am friendly with Leslie Elliot, to whom you are referring, and I support her Radical Center approach as a half-way point back to traditional understandings of health and happiness. A lot of classical liberals oppose woke-contaminated psychotherapy. I am promoting a reactionary approach.

I looked over your website (good for you and your colleagues!) and yes, Leslie is the person I was thinking of.

Given your line of work, I'd love to hear your take on the question I asked in the article I published a few days ago... https://joaniehiggs.substack.com/p/not-forgiveness-or-sympathy-but-pity

There's a young woman on YouTube, championing your point of view. I'll see if I can find her again to provide a link.

You are onto the malpractice. These therapists and other professionals may be causing depression and suicide. Therapists can be reported to their licensure boards if there is evidence of guilt-tripping. There are cases like this out there now. Critical Theory education is an abusive practice that can be outlawed on those grounds if white people and our allies continue to put pressure on local officials and governors. We need more organization to stop anti-white racial trauma. We mush shift our emphasis from freedom and opportunity to protecting our people from racial abuse.
