My husband's therapist told him I'm trying to undermined her Update
My husband started therapy a couple months ago. It was to deal with anxiety, depression and his CPTSD from childhood trauma, physically, emotional, and sexual abuse. He wanted a female therapist because he felt more comfortable. His mom was neglectful and most of his abusers were men. I completely understand but this therapist imo is giving dangerous advice. I'm not a therapist and if there are therapist on here maybe you please give me some insight. He would go to her office but he's found it easier to do a google face time. The issues I have with her is her mixing her spirituality with my husband's therapy by telling him he doesn't actually have trauma. It's just negativity that's clouding his judgement on his childhood and he can only see the bad in his childhood instead if the good which is causing him to believe he has trauma. Shes also super against antidepressants and has given him more natural solutions which would be fine if he ASKED for natural solutions. He didn't. I also think it's irresponsible for a therapist to tell someone to go off their medication cold turkey. He's been actually getting worse so his therapist suggested he go to Ayahuasca retreat. Ayahuasca is a psychedelic and it CAN be helpful. But with the research I've done a lot of the times it can do more harm than good. She really started pushing him to basically empty our savings account to go to this retreat that's in a completely different country and he had a session and asked if I could be there and she goes "I mean... I guess so." We talked this morning and I even said I can tell he's getting worse and I don't think Ayahuasca is the right move for him. She says right in front of me "So Eric does your wife have an issue with undermining you the way she undermines me ?" She couldn't even say that to me directly! I was right there! I know I'm not a professional. I get it. I went to fucking culinary school. I'm nowhere near a therapist. But I've also been to therapy and it's never been like this. My husband is now thinking he really needs to take this trip to get better. It's gonna empty out our savings account if he does and I don't think it will be good for him. Is this therapist wrong or do I just need to stay in my lane?
Update: I have researched this therapist and while she is a licensed therapist, she had her license suspended at one point. She's only had it back for less than 4 months. I've showed this to my husband and even showed him the comments on here. He's just so confused but jes agreed to get back on his medication so he can be evened out a bit more and in a headspace to make decisions. He meets with his psychiatrist Monday.
