I just started with a new one. I had the first meeting for the interview, and then last week was my first "real" session. I ended up being 15 minutes late because my brother drives me, and he over slept a little, and then we ended up getting lost. I'll admit I was frustrated that he didn't get up and didn't get directions if he didn't know how to get there, and I said that to her in my first minutes of the session, and she said to me "Well he seems like a rude and inconsiderate person" in an extremely mean tone. That was the first thing I ever said about him, and while I did feel angry at him in that moment, he is hardly a rude and inconsiderate person. Her saying that made me hate her. I may be calling to try and get another therapist because of it. She seems like a mean and judgmental person.

I wonder if they realize how they can be hurtful sometimes. At least at my school, where I normally seek therapy and had a good relationship with mine, they had a 15 minute gap between sessions in case people did need to go over a bit. Sometimes you can't fit it all into a 30-45 minute session.
