Abuse in Therapy or Helping Relationships:
It can take a long while for someone to realise that the person who was meant to be helping them, is actually not helping, or is being controlling or abusive.
Elsewhere 'Doc' argues that if we don't know our basic rights, the more easily they get eroded - by others who DO know, or who over-ride them anyway!
