This concept feels very resonant to me. Does anyone have resources or experiences with this? 

"There are times when a therapist’s psychological and philosophical perspectives and theoretical orientation can negatively impact the process of securing help. There are even times when the therapy experience itself — a process that by its nature is meant to be both reassuring and empowering — can go beyond being merely unhelpful to actually being traumatizing in some way. "

I heard a story on public radio last sunday about cases such as a 14 year old girl who was basically held captive for four years at a reunification therapy camp with her verbally abusive mother.  Her mother had convinced a judge that her father had alienated her against her mother. the show is called Reveal and the report is called Bitter custody  https://www.revealnews.org .

I've visited a residential foster care home where the clients came to them with more trauma than they ever experienced while there. It was mostly a case of things not being as helpful than they could have been, or at most, re-traumatizing to the residents.
