If my Therapist just tells me something that I'm not ready for, I may not believe it, I may not act on it, I may even hold it against him.

Yes, it's up to you to learn and understand your family issues on your own with gentle guidance as necessary.

I agree with ricwag and although I understand that therapists are human, just as someone else here mentioned, they need to keep their issues out of session, unless they are prepared to hear a client call them on it. I can forgive a therapist easier if they are honestly sorry for a foible.

Thanks,
