interesting post. i've been thinking about your comment that you didn't know what exactly it was, but that something had changed - and i think it might just be your perspective. nothing physical or tangible has changed, but your view of the type of practice that your therapist has is now different.

i think also what makes it more difficult is that it strikes a very unique nerve within. as in, we sit there in therapy and sometimes we feel like afwul people, and our therapist is there to say, "no, you're a good and decent person. you've done nothing wrong." but now, knowing that your therapist treats offenders, it's like the game has changed. it might be easier now to put yourself in this yucky category (of offenders). does that make any sense? i'm not sure if i'm explaining it very well.

in addition, you might be wondering how your therapist could be so nice to someone that did harm to another person. i know i've often wondered what would happen if my therapist started treating someone from my past that had harmed me in some way.. would she be as nice to them as she is to me? it would be such a contridiction because here she would be saying that it was not me, that i did nothing wrong, that it was their fault.. but then i'd wonder what she would say to them. again, i don't know if i'm explaining this well though.
