No Kitten, I'm not a moderator; I just noticed that you seemed to be making very quick judgments about people's therapists, based on incidents that were taken out of the context of the entire relationship, without necessarily knowing what the relationship is like as a whole.
I've had some awful therapists myself, and I've certainly read about some horrible therapists here too, but sometimes therapists also just do stupid things without thinking because they're human, and it doesn't necessarily mean they're awful, especially if they accept responsibility for the mistake and don't continue to do the same thing again.

Conversation with my therapist:

Doc: "You know, for the past few weeks you've seemed very disconnected from your emotions when you're here."
Me: "I'm not disconnected from my emotions. I just don't feel anything when I'm here."
(Pause)
Me: "Doc, why are you banging your head against the arm of your chair?"
Doc: "Because I'm not close enough to a wall."

It's official. I can even make therapists crazy.
Thanks for this!
