I would like to make something clear: the practitioners at Eden were completely unaware of abuse or reported abuse. Do you honestly think they would compromise their professional standing by association with this? It is unthinkable.
1. The people who endured these things, as is common in such situations, did not want to speak about it, or if they did, it was only to a close confidante, and it certainly did not get shared freely in the clinic.
2. 90% + of what I saw when working there was good results with patients.
3. There was certainly an attitude problem with one of the practitioners, which I confronted several times, and I did not think was good, and I understand why people are calling this abuse. However, you meet difficult people all the time in life, and people who abuse their position in the form of bossiness and bullying, and you just try to deal with it as best you can.
4. If any people were genuinely complicit in all of this, and I do not believe they were in the way that you make out, they will know it in their hearts, and do not need to be told it.
