Wow, that must be so painful to work with clients you can't "sincerely" like or love! That means he has to fake his support of them? I truly understand when two people don't "click," and I also believe that most people are able to pick up on the insincerity of a fake relationship. It happens in real life so it must also happen in therapeutic relationships. I wonder why he doesn't refer the person to someone else.

My former therapist never discussed other clients. In fact, I remember one time that she let me know at the beginning of my session that someone I knew would be in the waiting room when I left and she apologized and hoped it wouldn't cause me discomfort (She didn't realize that I knew my BFF was also seeing her or that I had referred her. LOL). She was sooooooo cautious about how she scheduled clients. So far, my new therapist hasn't discussed other clients and I have a pretty strong feeling she never would either.
