When you entrusted your well-being to a professional such as a psychiatrist, a doctor, a therapist or a counselor, you no doubt did so because you were seeking help for a condition or problem such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Chronic pain
- Post-traumatic stress syndrome
- Marital or family relationship challenges
- Obsessive compulsive disorder
- Any type of phobia
You may have sought help from a behavioral therapist or a marriage counselor in order to address a situation in your life that was causing instability and disturbance. What you did not want, need, expect or deserve was to suffer abuse from the professional who was supposed to help you get better or meet your special challenges.
