Bringing Awareness to the issue of Predatory Therapists, Doctors,
​and The Abuse of Power

"I survived."
That is the first and foremost thing I say when I choose to talk about my experience of being exploited by a therapist. The damage done by therapists who transgress these boundaries is devastating. Many people do not survive. It has taken me twelve years to talk.

The second thing I say is that it is imperative
that our social systems change so that
therapists who exploit their clients and female predators are held accountable.

Why?

Because few people are listening to victims of therapeutic abuse.
And when you add that your exploitative therapist was female
that number reduces to practically nil.

So, I am talking.

Coming to Voice:
Surviving a Predatory Therapist
​by Bernadine Fox

$8.99 on Kobo
​
Ms. Sleeth was a well-known expert around child sexual abuse working with some of the most profoundly traumatized survivors.  
​Emma was one of Pam’s clients.
 
In October of 2015, a year after her death, a women’s sexual assault center in Vancouver BC announced an event to honor Sleeth's feminist work to end violence against women. Pamela had, at one point, saved Emma's life. She had also transformed into one of Emma's worst predators. 
 
The space between Pamela’s impressive contributions and Emma’s experience of her is this memoir.
