Its a problem of taking the correct course from one situation and then applying it wider without proper understanding of the complexities.
Like the children of addicts or the extreme abusive types (the ones that r/raisedbynarcissists all write fanfiction wishing about) should absolutely cut their family out. Both as a stop measure or a jolt to the relationship to help the other party start to respect boundaries correctly.
But those are extreme cases where the harm is notable and direct. However once that became a thing you could do, Therapists the world over started applying it far more loosely so as not to upset their Leftie patients who were so lost in politics they'd just drop and replace the Therapist if they said anything to the contrary.
Because that's what usually happens. People shop for a Therapist who agrees with their own belief about themselves to enable them, rather than go to one who will confront and help them through their issues. And people consider the ability to shop like that a good thing so much it appears in Ads for things like BetterHelp.
Well they are a medical doctor trying to take on the role of Therapist, that's already a failure on their part from the top. A specialized doctor doesn't try to also be a primary care physician beyond a very basic level for a reason.
Its a problem with Psychiatrists in general, in that they feel like they are Super Therapists who can be both the "counselor" and the "pill fairy" approaching situations from all angles.
