My current T apologizes for her part and has no problem doing that. Every other T I've seen made it all about "my issues" saying everything that happens in there is my issues playing out. Yes, my issues play out in there...that's what therapy is for. But it's not "my issue" if a therapist doesn't show up or is late or whatever. The first time my current T said she was sorry and took full ownership of a situation that I also thought really was her mistake, I was floored. We've talked about it several times and I think some therapists haven't dealt with their own issues enough to admit to a client that they messed up. The therapists I've seen that seem to feel the need to maintain that power differential in therapy are also the ones who won't apologize. I don't know if there is something to that or not.
