Beautifully written, Sue

Thank you for this vitally important work. I think that you are well over the target in your choice of the phrase 'conscripted to a cause' in the last paragraph. The cause is fascism pretending to be kindness and it is seeping into everything

Superb, Sue. The arrogance of assuming that we all agree with the aims of CSJ is bad enough. To burden the unsuspecting client with further heavy burdens that were not agreed or bargained for when therapy was commenced, is abusive.
