I thought that these two blog posts, on therapist infighting and stealing content, were interesting.

I think that therapist aggression, with clients and each other, may be common.
(Maybe it's common in lots of people? But, say, other professions have an outlet. Business people get to be competitive and athletes get to be physical and physical workers get to swing a hammer and lawyers get to express it via writing and at trials and stay at home parents drink lots of wine. I'm generalizing. But just a thought.)
Here is another post about psychologists trying to save face and trying to pretend that they are not aggressive.

I believe that I have been harmed by sub-level, veiled aggression on the part of a therapist. I believe that the therapist meant to punish me in a way, and did so via specific actions, though I could never prove it.
The therapist may not even have been aware of this regarding himself or herself.
Have you ever sensed aggression?
