‘unconsciously’ seeking abusers? | bogus therapy [cc]

I explore this burden-shifting red herring with special reference to targets of abuse who’ve been told they were ‘unconsciously’ seeking abusers.

opening quote:
We wouldn’t assume an individual who had
been repeatedly scammed by con artists was
‘unconsciously’ seeking these abusers out.
And yet when it comes to abusive relationships
for some therapists it’s the standard supposition.
