It gives me hives whenever therapists suggest that maybe a medical issue could be the result of unresolved trauma/a delayed reaction to trauma. That’s a baseless claim… literally, pseudoscience. To be clear, I think that psychological trauma can induce physiological stress that can contribute to the development of medical issues (disease and chronic illness). But that doesn’t mean that you can look at the end state, and conclude etiology just from that. And yet, therapists do this… ALL THE TIME.

#idk shit like this is why i second guess becoming a therapist #it’s fucked up. stay in your lane. not everything is 100% psychological!!#this bothers me so much because it’s an example of medical gaslighting. pure and simple #and it’s pseudoscience — with about as much merit as christian science #(nothing against christian scientists — the difference is we aren’t licensing them and regarding them as healthcare professionals)
