Is it weird that my T tells me the complete opposite? He's not cocky, but has a lot of experience and we have a good relationship.
When I said "guinea pig" I was referencing a personal experience with an undertrained therapist who said he "learned a lot from me" at our final session. I had thought at the time, sarcastically, "glad I could be your guinea pig".
