Yes, my last therapist yelled at me and then used one of my own avoidance tactics on me. I don't think any therapust shoukd tell at a client and I think the therapist shoukd not be using avoidance tactics on something the client is asking to discuss. I left her pretty quickly. My present therapist got really angry at me for how I reacted to her telling me she was going away for three weeks. I cried and told her that was too long and that it would be hard for me to handle. She said that she had hoped I'd at least be happy for her. I told her that I get to have my feelings, that they were valid feelings even if she did not like them. She actually apologized and said my reaction was hard because she was already feeling guilty for taking so much time off. She also stated that her feelings were her responsibility and not mine. She really is an awesome therapist.
