> But therapists here in the USA have been trained to work with such clients.
all or some? in other parts of the world as well?
> for therapists having a client go off during a session is just normal and part of the job.
right. maybe we have different notons of 'going off'?
> if they didn't want or expect clients to let loose and release their emotions no matter what that emotion is then they would not be in the profession as a therapist.
maybe i'm getting the wrong idea about the thowing table incident. i probably am. i'm thinking more along the lines of damage to property / therapist feeling threatened. but maybe you mean the incident a little differently...
> so the fact that SKR upped my sessions after I got triggered into switching into the memory piece of Margo isn't an out of the ordinary response for a therapist. Its just the way therapy field works here in the USA.
on one model of therapy, yes. one model. and that is why some people have been led to say that 'switching into memory pieces' becomes more frequent. because the therapist responds positively / reinforces / gives more attention to clients who do that. and then... surprise! clients start to do that...
i found that interesting, was all...
