Now it's become clearer. A recent post had as its title something I said in session 2 days prior. I remember because it was a way-out-there thought about a problem I've been having, and when I shared it with T, he laughed out loud and said that it would be an interesting premise for a movie.
He used that and a few other thoughts of mine from that session in his post, in a way that suggested that they were his own ideas. I'm hurt and disappointed. Of course I didn't expect a proper APA-style citation (confidentiality and all), but he could have acknowledged that the idea was not his own. ("The other day, one of my clients shared an interesting thought.")
Now I'm wondering if his whole blog is just plagarized off of other people.

I'd be uncomfortable about this. My old T and I were talking one day in one of the very few family therapy sessions with my ex-H, and I was talking about how I felt like the one in the family who had lots of responsibility but no authority (my T called it "over-functioning"). I think I was referring to something about letting my kids know I was the "top dog", so to speak, in the family "pack", and referred to myself as the "alpha b.i.t.c.h". He got a grin on his face, and said, "That's a nice turn of phrase. Do you mind if I use that in my workshops?" I just laughed, and told him to go ahead. And then he asked if he should cite me as the source; I declined.
