Question by Be Real: My friend told her psychiatrist that she was being abused- He told her she needs Medication & Counseling?
She is not insulted by the med thing but “counseling”?
Never mentioned the abuser should go too.
What actually was she saying to her patient?

Best answer:

Answer by ?Kazz?
She may well be suggesting that by going to counselling and talking through the abuse she might come to realise she needs to get herself out of the situation – many abused women don’t feel they are able to leave – some feel that they deserve the abuse or they just cant see a way out or that they feel that this is life and you have to put up with it etc – so yeah that might be why she has suggested it – just so she can talk it through and come to the realisation herself to get herself out of the situation
