Psychotherapists are there for the sole purpose of helping those who have suffered from emotional trauma by offering treatment option like psychotherapy and others. Now there is a very big problem in the world of psychology because there are actually a lot of psychotherapists who would abuse that power and are just in the job for the money. There are actually so many cases of emotional abuse by a psychotherapist wherein the therapist may not even know.
Now one of the most common ways for patients to be emotionally abused by their therapists is for their therapists to act unprofessional. Now according to a certain code of ethics that therapists would follow, there is a strict rule about professionalism. In no circumstances should a therapist exhibit behavior that is unprofessional.
Of course there is a thing as getting too close to the patient as this kind of friendly relationship is not healthy. It is for this reason that a line must always be drawn between the patient and the therapist. If ever this line should be broken, then there might be some negative things that might happen with the patient.
The thing about having this kind of close relationship is that the psychotherapist might actually open up things to the patient that should not be opened up. If he or she is mentally unstable, any trigger might just spark something in his or her mind which will create a negative effect. It is for this reason that therapists are to just concentrate on treatment and not trying to make friends or trying to get close.
Now there are other cases that are more extreme wherein the therapist would actually be tactless or cold. Now as stated above, a therapist is supposed to be professional but he should be cold. Now the thing about being too tactless is that he may put off the patient by saying things that might spark a trigger in his mind.
Now if ever the patient does get hurt, he will not open up to the therapist anymore and the therapy session will be rendered useless. As a psychotherapist, one should be able to understand his patient and diagnose him. From that diagnosis, he will be able to create a solution to the problem.
Now some of the bad effects of this phenomenon would be worsening of the condition of a patient. If the patient is suffering from trauma, his fear of people might worsen and he might just clam up. Depression is also something that may stem up from this kind of situation.
So if one would want to become a therapist, he has to always take note that he is taking up an extremely important job. He should always prioritize helping his patients who are in need instead of thinking about the money they can give him. Therapists hold in their hands the lives of their patients and they are supposed to make them better. No patient should suffer anymore type of abuse especially from their therapist.
