Actually if you read what I wrote I said "Once a T decides to terminate the logic on their end is either that they aren't helping you, or that they don't want to help you." I don't see how you could fault my logic there. Then I went on to say I personally typically only fire clients I can't stand or that stop paying me.... I'm sure I would also fire someone I couldn't help, but I work in a different field than a therapist and I usually know who I can and can't help immediately and refer those I can't.

I don't know why everything needs to boil down to "blame" on this site. Do I think Budfox is "to blame" for his termination, no, not in a million years. I remember his posts about what happened, it's unfortunate. I was merely trying to point out how the situation must look and feel to his therapist, who IMO came to the conclusion she wasn't helping him. I think that seeing all the perspectives might help him process this in a healthier way, ie yes, it is very painful to go through, however it doesn't necessarily mean his ex-T doesn't care about him or intends to or even wanted to abandon him.
Thanks for this!
