30 Toxic Things Therapists Said

We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the most toxic thing a therapist has ever said to them. Here are the eye-opening results.

Warning: Some stories include topics of sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, suicide, addiction, and eating disorders. Please proceed with caution.

Note: There isn’t one “typical” therapy experience — everyone’s stories are different, and if it hasn’t worked for some, that doesn’t mean it hasn’t worked for others.

Note: Some submissions have been pulled from this Reddit thread by user u/Physical_Philosopher.
