I think that's how it was with my first long term t. But then you have to look at the era - Gunderson hadnt even written his borderline book yet, amazon wasnt invented let alone the internet. Information and peer support is easily available to the lay person now that simply wasnt before. My t says you dont have to feel like you're in the wrong and getting yelled at in order to improve. He prefers you dont.
