Of course. What right has a therapist to judge one? Who elected them the arbiter of who is a good or a bad person? Religión delegates judgement to Gods. Does this tharapist imagine herself to be God? Talk about your boundary violation!

Equals do not Juste one another. Superiora judge inferiors. So at a vulnerable moment when you are disclosing a humiliating experience and very much need a peer to understand you, she createdls distance and assumes a superior position in which she offers her judgement ABOUT YOUR VERY WORTH. It hardly matters that she judges you to be good. The insult is that ahe judges you at all, and at a time that calle for empathy instead.

There are many sound argumenta against therapy. There are many more Since thw therapist is no longer from the joost echelons of college graduates but often enough the dregs, the lowly social worker, lowest college admissions atandards of them all.

I am sure she hadnt the first clue that her statement was just plain offensive and rude. Her intwntion was undoubtedly to relieve your guilt and restore your belief in your essential goodness. She was probably unaware of a motivation to create distance as a defense
against her feelings about the revelation.

If she is usually smart and open, you migbt gently point out what you felt. * She migbt get It. But if she was a child abused by humiliating ribbons and badges, meant to manipulafe her self esteem...forget about It.

In any event she didn't know she was insulting you. It was meant to make you know your goodness. What you need Is your wholeness.

I hope that made sense.
Thanks for this!
