My posts are most certainly not full of contradictions. I offer a more balanced response to this situation from the perspective of one who has not only experienced sexual abuse but also gone through extensive training to deal with it.
In this particular case, none of us personally know the individuals involved. In this particular case, there are enough contradictions to warrant serious investigation by those actually trained to do so. That occurred during the time of the trial, but it is ignored by those who do not like the results. Yes, there are many, many cases of sexual abuse. Yes, there are some accusations that prove to be false, coerced, and mistaken. 'Instincts' and 'tells' are not even reliable for personal choices but if you must go on believing it is so, there is nothing I will try to say further to suggest otherwise. It took a great deal of training to learn how to distinguish what is clinically 'real' and what is not. No where did I ever state that there were 'subtle signs'. That is a tactic that I have watched you use in other threads.
Finally, not all therapists come from the same school of thought and yet can and are quite effective and empathic in their approaches to healing. Given that neither of y'all are in the field, I am really not surprised that you instead wish to attack my character, my training, and my approach instead of dealing with what I have said all along in this sub-thread.
I deal with men and women like you and BanesBaine all the time....sadly. I have nothing to defend nor to prove.
Please carry on with your back patting, arrogance, and little attacks at those who contradict y'all even in the slightest.
I won't waste further time with those who make up stuff to frame their debates and conversations with. Please have the last word as I put you both on ignore.
