I would find a different therapist. If a client is willing to pay to complain, perhaps it is because they have no other place to do it. I do not believe the therapist has a right to judge what a client needs or wants, but I suppose if the therapist does not want to listen they can stop seeing the client. I really object to the idea a client is not working or whatever. I believe the client's end of the bargain is to pay the therapist and leave at the correct time. Anything else the client does or does not do is theirs and an impatient or judgmental therapist is not going to change the client either. Or it wouldn't make me change anything except therapists.
