[QUOTE=ListenMoreTalkLess;2391584]This seems a little one-sided and lacking in a long-term perspective. T's need to protect their business interests and they should be "allowed" to do things that protect what they have built. Their interests count too. And in the long term, things that allow a T to stay in business and not be burnt out or sued out of existence are ultimately in all his clients' best interests.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it is adverse to your interests. If being upset about something that happens in the course of therapy were the test for something adverse to client interests, then T's would be acting constantly against clients' interests. Rather, I think therapy teaches us to deal and accept the things that we find distressing and uncomfortable. Hopefully that is just one of those for you.[/QUOTE

LMTL, I can see where someone from the outside looking in might read my posts and have similar thoughts.
Personally, I don't care if T has a disclaimer. There were a few examples here and on another thread of a few T's who use it for confidentiality purposes. My T's example was not a confidentiality disclaimer. It was a when I confuse or hurt you ( inadvertently) because of a potential error(s) on my part, you cant hold me personally responsible.

I am a HUGE rule follower, very compliant client. T knows me and has compared my upbringing to that of a child growing up with a parent who was an apostolic preacher.

I am triggered by the conversation disclaimer because I once had a T terminate me without cause. He later said he was protecting himself. My current T and I both agree it was not from me. I have been in therapy for over 5 years trying to work through the harm caused by him.
