Therapy
My first meeting w/ a psychologist about dealing w/ my sexual orientation (6 years ago) referred me to the infamous Exodus International for "reparitive therapy." She used some of the techniques on me (she was a conservative Christian & due to questioning myself, took it at face value), which obviously don't work (as we know, sexual orientation is not a choice). Luckily, I was referred to a psychiatrist that told me the truth (it is not something than can be changed), and the psychologist was removed from my case (she was not disciplined any further...).
I wasn't suicidal, but these conservative "therapists" do more harm than good, and there should be laws to hold them accountable.
