I've got to admit amandalouise your post pushed my buttons. It's really unfortunate in my opinion that you would give up on clients in this way. Sometimes trust takes a LOT of time. Sometimes things are not what they seem. Sometimes you have to wait to feel the underwater currents. Slowly you become in tune with a person, knowing what they need, feeling for the faultlines, sneaking in. Resistance to therapy is an opportunity. Sometimes overcompliance is a problem. Listen with more than your ears and see with more than your eyes and you'll find yourself a better therapist...
