Teal obviously set out with the best of intentions, and it is admirable that she has emerged from a terrible childhood. .
She may well have helped some people.
Revealing childhood sexual abuse to others who have suffered is obviously preferable to revealing it to a therapist as there is a shared understanding, you are spending longer than an hour so feel more supported and of course you feel you are helping fellow sufferers who truly understand and it is a mood booster to feel you have helped another.
But the glaring issue is that these fellow survivors are not trained. They could easily say something that could cause more harm, albeit unconsciously .
Maybe what she has shown us is that group therapy can indeed help survivors of this kind of abuse . And a group
of well trained therapists would be wise to set up such a group,
Of course there are equally deluded and unself aware mental health professionals out there.
In the fourth episode Teal reveals a intiuition of what she thinks the german woman thinks of her.
It is a very accurate uncanny description of herself.
So much so I had to double check that it was indeed a documentary.
