Why is this a topic of discussion in 2019!?! This is a pseudo-scientific practice at best. Every mainstream medical & mental health organization has rejected this practice. It can lead to depression, anxiety, drug us, & suicide in its victims. And for what? You cannot change who someone is...and why would you want to try? Fact is: it doesn’t work. All it does is harm the individual that the practitioner is trying to change. Stop with this. Spend that money on something that matters: improving public schools, rebuilding infrastructure in our commonwealth, and microchipping companion animals...
