Erickson Beth Dr

Attended a group «therapy» session conducted by Dr. Erickson with three of my sisters. This soon to be 60-​year-​old life I am presently living is a healed one, following 25 years of off/​on therapy from a GOOD therapist, a Prozac prescription (3 pils/​day) I’ve been taking since ’89 (am down to 1 pill/​week and headed to a further healed life that is Prozac-​free), an unbelievably supportive spouse, three phenomenal grown children, other fantastic family members including sisters, neices and nephews, and life-​saving friends.
This therapist had no idea the depth of the hurt/​healing/​pain/​anger and naievite that sat before her in the room. She was truly over her head. She did not ask appropriate questions. She did not protect all members of the group. It was truly a dangerous situation for one group member, me. She was not totally neutral with regard to each of the sisters, as she was a former teacher/​colleague of one of my sisters.
The cherry on the top of the experience for me was when she handed us copies of an article she wrote regarding family rules and birth order and told us not to discuss the session because it might compromise the therapeutic effect.
Oiy. From the depths of my mostly healed soul, Pplease be kind to yourself and get the help you need… go to a GOOD therapist, not Dr. Beth Erickson.
