One of the better changes our world has seen is the acceptance of mental health issues as real and the destigmatization of mental illness in turn. True, there's still a lot that needs to be improved, but it's comforting to know that people can seek the help they need more openly now than ever before. More and more, people are talking about their feelings, going to therapy, and getting the help they need. With any medical practice, however, there is a chance that you can receive some bad advice. Since "going to therapy" is a relatively new concept, it feels like a net good thing when someone goes to any form of therapy. But there are quacks in the psych profession as well. And if you find yourself with a therapist who enables your behavior rather than get to the root of it, you might be in greater trouble than when you first arrived at their office.
One man witnessed this firsthand when his ex's therapist became a little too involved in her life. He came to Reddit to discuss whether the therapist's actions were truly unethical and sought help from other Redditors to help him decide. Read on to see where you fall.
