This is possibly not helpful, but, I do wonder why on earth there are so many therapists running around who don't seem to have the first understanding of basic human dynamics.
I think it is natural for anyone to be scared of a therapist. Let's face it, they generally dig up a bunch of awful stuff and as a result you feel horrible a lot of the time. They also become players in a lopsided relationship in which one party is emotionally invested a lot more than the other. They work with people who have been hurt before in a capacity which allows them to inflict more pain if they mess up.
There are several, very different, very valid reasons why someone should be scared of a therapist and I feel like any therapist that doesn't understand that.... is a few tools short of a toolbox.
