heck, a lot of folks on PC seem to have therapists who have trouble just admitting their mistakes, let alone the rest of it...

Lola I don't fault your opinion (and to an extent, I share it) but I have to doubt that a T would be forthcoming about his/her countertransference.

I expect and need my T to be honest with me, and I really believe she is, but as far as being open about everything she feels, well that's a really different story. I bet she doesn't tell me .002 of what she thinks/feels in that room

and then there's the old blank slate, and all that, don't y'know.
