Unethical Boundaries
#ReportTherapyAbuse #PatientsCantConsent
Welcome
Abuse by your therapist is also known as attempted #SoulMurder. Why? When a patient who is already vulnerable and open to suggestions is paired with a predator, the results are catastrophic.
Patients who bravely seek mental health support via therapy deserve ethical doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists and counselors who do no prey on them and who maintain professional boundaries.
Unethical Boundaries, LLC. was founded in 2022 out of a need for support, education & connection while dealing with my own experience of therapy abuse. After 7 years of traumatic abuse, I’ve since connected with countless other victims and it’s time we had a louder voice.
The relationship between patient and therapist is akin to a parent/child relationship - there’s an inherent power imbalance and predators in the field can easily harm patients.
Help us all raise awareness, create policy changes, and learn why abuse by a trusted therapist is known as: #SoulMurder

American Counseling Association:
CODE OF ETHICS
“If counselors extend boundaries as described in A.6.a. and A.6.b., they must officially document, prior to the interaction (when feasible), the rationale for such an interaction, the potential benefit, and anticipated consequences for the client or former client and other individuals significantly involved with the client or former client. When un- intentional harm occurs to the client or former client, or to an individual significantly involved with the client or former client, the counselor must show evidence of an attempt to remedy such harm....
Counselors avoid entering into non- professional relationships with former clients, their romantic partners, or their family members when the interaction is potentially harmful to the client. This applies to both in-person and electronic interactions or relationships.”
“Do you think you can help me?”
I asked on our phone intake.
“I promise not to make it any worse…”
This was the first of countless lies my psychologist told me over 7 years.
He made it far worse than I ever could have imagined and nearly destroyed me.

Mental Health Professionals: Doctors & Therapists
The ability to exert influence, power and control over another human is HIGH in these professions.
To be vulnerable and open to help and treatment, one needs trusted professionals who maintain ethical boundaries.
Therapists fail to put their patients needs ahead of their own - claiming the situation is always unique, soulmates, meant to be.
A therapeutic relationship is built on a trust that the person you’ve turned to for help with your most private thoughts, feelings and fears will consider your well-being ahead of their own.
What happens when the very people who are trained to help you, do the exact opposite and only consider their own needs?
It’s a betrayal
Abuse leads to significant lasting effects such as memory loss, brain fog, intense feelings of shame and guilt - and most importantly - a reluctance to want to seek help again.
Whether you’re here for yourself or someone you love, I’m sorry you’re here and I’m glad we can help make sense of your experience.
Abusers follow a certain - very predictable - script to hook and keep their victims close or far…depending on their needs.
