Does anyone else's T talk too much? And about other clients?
The first T I saw talked a lot about other clients. Just in an anonymous sense - no names or other identifying info.
I thought it was strange and inappropriate, and it ended up being one of the reasons I dumped him.

But now the T I have been seeing for 4 months is doing the same thing!

Just today she went into a long, drawn-out description of a couple she has been seeing for 7 YEARS (!!!) (I didn't even know she did couples counseling) - and how the husband did some really bad things (and spent $150,00 doing so), and the wife only stayed with him to make his life miserable, and how the wife would physically pummel the man at the beginning and T had to end the sessions early, and now they are the best communicators, blah blah blah blah blah - on and on and on.

I mean, yes, her stories are meant to be an example for me to learn from, I guess. But it really bothers me!
And tonight when I was thinking about it I wondered if she ever talked about ME to her other clients?

I know if it is bothering me I should bring it up to her, but I just really really can't. I would be afraid it would come off as me criticizing her.

I just wondered if this was a common thing - anyone?
