I know what you mean. I've met with a therapist who was just too full of himself and couldn't stand him. I never went back.
My current T is confident but at the same time fully aware of his mortality, so to speak. But honestly, I think that if I haven't outsmarted him a few times, he would think he's God.
It's reasonable, they know that they have a huge impact on (some of) their clients' lives. They want this. We all seek acceptance after all.
P.s. I'm sliiiightly drunk, I hope my post makes sense.
