Artist's Description
This song tells the story of someone who enters therapy in a vulnerable state, hoping for relief, safety and understanding, but instead finds themselves harmed by a therapist who is intrusive, disrespectful and emotionally damaging. What begins as a search for help becomes another source of pain. The song then shifts into something stronger. It becomes about recognition, self-respect, leaving what is harmful, and finding a healthier kind of support.

At its heart, the song is about awakening. It captures the moment when a person starts to see clearly that what they are receiving is not care, not healing, and not what therapy should be. From there, the song moves from betrayal and emotional harm towards recovery, dignity and hope. It is not just a song about bad therapy. It is also a song about reclaiming your voice, trusting your own judgement, and walking away from what damages you.

The lyrics move from darkness to light, both emotionally and visually. There is pain, anger, confusion and disillusionment in the early part of the song, but later verses and choruses open into steadier ground. The song carries an important message that good therapy should not control, shame, interrog

Bad Therapy

Verse 1
Suffered another week, my strength has gone
My four walls make me withdrawn
No idea when I last felt okay
Found a therapist by chance to help take away the grey
In you I placed my faith, my trust
You made me internally combust

Pre-Chorus
You interrogated my fears like they’re crimes
Smothering the grace of this therapeutic place
A sanctuary crumbles, falls away
Your words like enchantments, keeping me in the grey
Trust erodes, safety’s been wrecked
I’m trapped in your web of disrespect

Chorus
Now I know what’s wrong
With realisation I see your truth and want you gone
So I rise and leave the room, I start a new song
Carrying the added pain of what you created
I turn away from your words that deflated
Because healing needs more than false regard
Why was walking away so damn hard

Verse 2
I found someone who gives me space
Steady words, quiet respect, gentle grace
Encouraging emotional resilience
Respecting my pace, my independence
No agendas, no cold-hearted reframe
No gaslighting or suggested shame

Bridge
Trust is earned, not expected
In quiet sessions, safe and respected
In their hands I breathe again
Forging new paths from a broken lane
My self-respect I now regain

Final Chorus
Now I walk into sunlit days
Shaping my own future, a new enlightened phase
Breaking a self-defeating behavioural chain
Gently changing, warm breath on gentle rain
Therapy can heal, if attuned and humane
Helping me navigate the emotional terrain

Outro
To those stuck in bad therapy that feels in vain
You deserve respect and support, not silence, not disdain
Turn toward a voice that validates your needs
Find a strong alliance, planting emotional seeds
