If you attended these workshops before, you will note that the structure, fee, and length of them has changed.  Otherwise, they are the same material and ability to ask questions. 

​Do you know the ethical boundaries that therapists must follow to protect the sanctity of your healing process?  Do you know what constitutes therapy harm or abuse and exploitation?
  
Bernadine Fox, an award-winning mental health advocate, radio host for ReThreading Madness, and author of Coming to Voice: Surviving an Abusive Therapist, hosts a series of 1.5 hour online information sessions on What is Therapy Abuse and Exploitation. This includes both presentation and question-and-answer periods. This zoom talk is only open to those who have experienced trauma at the hands of their therapists. People are welcome to take more than one of these, so long as there is ‘seating’ available.  If you have taken this and are looking for something that is more along what happens in the question and answer period you might consider joining the Peer Support Group.
  • This is a trauma-informed event.
  • You can participate with or without your camera on.
  • You can use whatever alias you want.  
  • You can participate verbally and/or via chat whichever is most comfortable for you.
  • You can choose to just listen. 
  • No therapists (unless they are also survivors of therapy abuse) are allowed to attend.
  • Sessions will be on the last Monday every month at 10 am PDT and the first Saturday every month at 12 pm PDT

​For those with lived experience ONLY. Limited seating​
