I think her thinking is the problem.
The truth is, no one’s better than anyone else[...]We’re all very good at what we do.
I think this is patent nonsense. There are good Ts and bad Ts; there are competent Ts, and mediocre Ts; there are highly intelligent and reflective Ts, and there are "cookbook" Ts. She refuses to recognize this.
Then she details being the victim of another T plagiarizing her web-site: rather than recognize such behavior as the product of poor academic training, and a lack of reflection on one's own behavior, and simply "requesting" that the info be deleted in lieu of legal action, she sees it as a personal slight and engages in pseudo-therapy with the offender! And then whines that the person didn't sufficient recognize her transgression.
So her "payment" for engaging therapeutically was that the offending content was finally removed, but she still feels aggrieved because the violator didn't show appropriate remorse? Well--if the offender were capable of that, she wouldn't have stolen the web content to begin with. Why is this T taking responsibility for the offender's lack of insight? And she wants to be congratulated for behaving, in her eyes, more "ethically" and "benignly" than all those back-biting Ts whose behavior she so deplores?
I can only imagine how she twists her clients in their treatment. I read through a bunch of her entries, and there's a subtle thread through many of them about feeling unappreciated, seeking approval from clients, and seeing herself as deserving of more respect than she seems often to feel.
And for the life of me, I can't find any details of her own training/licensing. Seems like if she's using a web-site to build a practice, including such information would be a responsible choice. Unless she thinks clients don't need to have such info because "we're all very good."
