When I see psychologists, psychiatrists etc. reinforce harmful societal stereotypes and notions I feel disappointed, disgusted and enraged.
As a medical professional you ought to prioritize seeing your patients in order to support/help them and you must never allow your personal opinions to hinder your patients' healing process.
Using your position of power as a medical professional and your authority over your patient to poison their brain with discriminatory behaviour, hate or notions that will impact them negatively, diminishing their self-worth and devalue their identity is malpractice.
So, I would invite any therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and psychoanalysts who are racists, misogynists, lgbtqai+phobes, sexists, religious fanatics and generally display or support discriminatory behaviour to burn their certificates and quite their practice.
They should not be allowed to be in contact with patients as they will do -and probably have done- more harm than good.
I know people whose lives were destroyed by bad therapists.
Patients are vulnerable, and thus, easy targets for medical professionals who either serve a certain agenda, or can't separate their personal views from their medical practice.
