My therapists seemed to fancy themselves as life masters, but were legends in their own minds. I occasionally have to suffer the obnoxiousness of a therapist who belongs to a local group with me. She gives stationery store-worthy advice like she fancies herself a mountaintop oracle. She reviews her own work, believing herself effortlessly brilliant. She crosses the room to say something bossy and diminishing. She's one of the most socially pathetic, narcissistic human beings I've had the misfortune to know.
