This video is such a disgrace that it needs a thread.
It is aimed at children and sole purpose appears to be to make them paranoid and suspicious of therapy/therapists.
It’s the moral equivalent of coaching children in techniques to avoid crucial prescription medication. (1/7)

The speakers define a ‘conversion therapist’ as any therapist who doesn’t use your preferred pronouns as soon as you meet them. This is not only scaremongering but completely misleading and disingenuous.
They go on to compare therapy to being in a POW camp. (2/7)

Children are warned that therapists will “pretend to be on your side and that they are concerned for you”. Here, the core conditions of therapy - including acceptance, active listening and empathy are turned on their head and made out to be something to be afraid of. (3/7)
Children are told the very nature of talking therapy is evil: “The goal of the therapist is to get you to talk and use what you say to hurt you”.

Children are then given ‘techniques’, including “running out the clock”, “faking sickness” and “faking rapport” in order to avoid the therapeutic experience. They are very literally encouraging children to develop forms of neurosis. (5/7)
Finally, they are warned if they take part in the therapy they may be “shipped off” to a camp for troubled teens with “forced conversion therapy”, “no food” and “solitary confinement”. This cements in any child’s minds that engaging in therapy is fundamentally dangerous. (6/7)
We must safeguard children and prevent them from being exposed to this type of dangerous material. This video puts the absolute fear of god into already vulnerable children about therapy, completely discredits the therapy profession and goes against science and medicine. (7/7)
