My therapist's reactions to my concerns about AWDTSG were horrible
A few weeks ago, I told my OCD therapist about AWDTSG, and some of the reasons it's so bad, and that I was worried about it and had concerns about dating because of it. She tried to downplay my concerns and AWDTSG, implied I wasn't allowed to be upset and outraged from learning about it, and said she thought the chances of me ending up in one of those groups was "very low."
She also told me she thought my worries, concerns and outrage about AWDTSG was part of my OCD.
After the session, I texted her, describing in detail about the scale of AWDTSG and Tea Groups, the harm that they're doing, and all of the crimes, rights violations, and abusive behavior they commit or encourage. I also sent her various links to articles and webpages to further back this up. I even sent her a screenshot of a Reddit comment someone made that pointed out how differently things would be viewed if the genders were reversed.
When we talked at our next session, she didn't seem at all swayed. She also seemed even more convinced that thoughts, emotions, and worries related to AWDTSG and Tea Groups were part of my OCD. She also almost insisted we do OCD work related to AWDTSG.
I had to repeatedly tell her I didn't think it was necessary, and that I didn't want to.
