"That's dangerous territory. Quite a lot of people got talked by their therapist has having false memories of abuse."

Nothing I said is about discouraging Clarity to seek out an expert for mental health. A well trained expert should know what creates false memories and be aware of the dangers.
From my perspective the idea that false meories got planted is uncontroversial history taught in mainstream psychology classes.
