I have and EX-friend who was in training to be a therapist. She was a know it all....she has PTSD like me (but much farther behind in healing). Anyway, she dropped out of social work school because she felt like she knew soooo much more than everyone else. She could never find a therapist who was good enough because she knew sooooo much more than all of them. Ok, fair enough, take that with a grain of salt because it is indeed hard to find a therapist who knows what they're doing in terms of PTSD. It got to the point where she was "therapizing" me.....even though she never made it through social work school. It was nauseating! I told her to stop treating me like I was a client.....her "job" is to be my friend and support me, not tell me how to live my life! (But if you think about it, GOOD therapy isn't about telling a client how to live their life, its about guiding someone in their healing journey!) Anyway, I'm no longer friends with her. She never abided by any of the boundaries I set up, so she had to go. I don't deal with those who repeatedly cross important boundaries with me.
