A woman experienced psychological abuse during a romantic relationship. However, her experience took a disturbing turn when she began couples therapy. Instead of receiving support, she found herself feeling blamed and questioned about her own behavior. The therapy process seemingly reversed the dynamic, creating a situation where she felt responsible for the abuse she endured. This raises concerns about the potential for retraumatization within couples counseling when abuse dynamics are not properly addressed. The woman’s story highlights the critical need for therapists to be adequately trained in recognizing and responding to psychological abuse, ensuring the safety and well-being of victims. Her experience underscores the potential harm caused when power imbalances are not acknowledged and addressed in a therapeutic setting.
