I'm not a therapist but that doesn't mean my opinion on termination is irrelevant. You cant force someone to do a job, period, therapy or ditch digging or whatever it may be. That was my point, that would be slavery.

I don't think therapist bashing is going to help any of us get better. There are certainly times when it's warranted, when a therapist abuses patents etc, but to blanket every failed therapy with this kind of blame isn't right. Sometimes two people just don't work out, and no one needs to be to blame for it.

In Budfox's case he fell for his therapist, which many of us do, and then after some time she decided it wasn't working. In my mind she wanted to help him by terminating. She could have continued to take his money for a therapy that wasn't progressing, I would see that as being worse. I've read of many people being strung along for years and years in therapies that weren't going anywhere, being financially abused so to speak by therapists. I just think it all comes down to perspective, and the right perspective here is to see all the sides. In my mind, just guessing, I think his therapist had his best interest at heart. She is human too, maybe the termination was a mistake, maybe not... but neither party needs to be to blame really, it just didn't work out. That's just life a lot of the time.
