Lisa Ferentz Quotes

When Faced With Choosing Between Attributing Their Pain To "being Crazy" And Having Had Abusive Parents, Clients Will Choose "crazy" Most Of The Time. Dora, A 38-year-old, Was Profoundly Abused By Multiple Family Perpetrators And Has Grappled With Cutting And Eating Disordered Behaviors For Most Of Her Life. She Poignantly Echoed This Dilemma In Her Therapy:
I Hate It When We Talk About My Family As "dysfunctional" Or "abusive." Think About What You Are Asking Me To Accept - That My Parents Didn't Love Me, Care About Me, Or Protect Me. If I Have To Choose Between "being Abused" Or "being Sick And Crazy," It's Less Painful To See Myself As Nuts Than To Imagine My Parents As Evil.
