Iīm only into season 1 at the moment and there have already been clients asking very personal questions about the T:s sex life, showing up very late and first and foremost the clients are often rude, demanding and keep telling the T (Dr Paul) that he doesnīt do his job very well.
Perhaps T:s in the US have this way of conducting work, I think he shows very good qualities as a T, that is being very patient and letting the client speak very freely of themselves.
Whatīs your opinion? Those of you who have seen this show.

I haven't seen the show, but I think it is really common for T's to deal with angry clients, I have a friend who is a T and she talks of dealing with angry clients (she never terminates them). Also I have sent my T an email and a text saying she is not doing her job well, and that I am thinking of quitting, I have had encouragement from her to come in and talk about it and that therapy involves dealing with anger. I know you didn't get that response from your T, which is hard to comprehend. I'm in Scotland.
