I needed someone that I could just be myself with, that I could let my guard down - cry, yell, scream and laugh. I remember her talking to me about a fashion boutique in town - and I said I didn't know about it. She said, "I thought you were into fashion?" She assumed I knew lots of things about our therapy too, due to the fact I am studying to be a clinician. I did - but I was happy to learn from her! She would say often that I did not need her... but I did |
She didn't give you referrals??? I'm pretty sure that is Illegal and counts as client abandonment. Regardless of what her own feelings where she was still obligated to help you find someone else. She sounds very irresponsible. And I can't believe that she would say that you did not need her. It sounds like she thinks that people who study therapy do not need therapy. What a naive belief. It makes me so angry that she would treat you this way. And once again there is nothing inappropriate about who you are.
