It isn’t that some therapists and soothsayers go rogue, alhough they certainly can – some go into the fields with that built-in pathology.
The photo depicts evil offering therapy to his greatest victim – a psychopath willing to do anything to serve the ruler of darkness. All too many are all too willing to do that for favors and a magical ride through life leaving victims along the way. Such is the manipulative and morally corrupt therapist and pseudo soothsayers. Be aware of how you feel when they’ve gotten into your life and honor questioning why you feel uneasy about being with them – not because you’re working through your issues but personally something doesn’t feel right. Boundaries for them are supposed to be part of their work ethic and criteria. That’s so for most professions although in these areas clients invest a deep kind of trust and can be harmed in an especially painful way. The unsavory in those fields are a special kind of stalker with cruel motives.
First, honor your gut feeling if you feel something is off and the idea that they’re wrong but mean well isn’t an excuse to let them slide. Take time to independently evaluate how you feel and thoroughly review your first encounter and how that went and all subsequent interactions and list, for yourself, how you’ve felt all along and assess how you feel right now as you ponder their intention. Those ill-fated therapists and soothsayers have special ways to manipulate and get their claws in because they have tools to dive deep under the guise of their professional status.
Understanding, professionalism, and knowing are different things.
The illicit will use, among other techniques something called mirroring and you can easily learn about that. In the realm of dark practitioners the method is used to breach your need to be in a safe environment and with someone you can trust so they create a false sense of camaraderie. They “know” how you feel and might even share their own similar experience that in itself is wrong since you’re in their company for you and not them. They appear to be empathizing but are incapable of empathy. You get the idea and taking time to go within and sort out what’s really happening can save a lot of agony. Seek someone legitimate and knowledgable and most of all integrity.
