I mean they have bills to pay and so they have to set firm guidelines but that's not the point. I want to be a T myself and there is no way I would behave this way. Most T's are not like this. You can easily find someone who became a T because he/she genuinely loves people.
That really sucks that she made you late for class - did you stay for the session, or just leave?

Yeah, I'm thinking of becoming a T too, and at least I have learned something from this experience, and some other crappy therapists too... about how NOT to run a practice. I just wish I could find a decent therapist... they seem very few and far between. This isn't the first less than wonderful experience I've had, although it has been by far the worst. The last therapist used to answer the phone all the time during sessions, and sit there telling me about her personal life instead of helping me out. How are you supposed to find a good one?
