[QUOTE=stopdog;5272633]If a therapist can't handle a client - then they get to quit, certainly. But I would not pay a therapist who thought they got to tell me I could not talk about whatever I wanted for as long as I wanted even if it was to tell the therapist how badly they suck. There was a story written by one of them who talked about a client who spent a year telling the therapist how the therapist sucked because the therapist had left his office early one day and forgotten the guy's appointment. Frankly I think any thin skinned therapist who can't take a client telling they ****ed up should not be a therapist. And none of them get to tell me what I can and cannot talk about during the time I pay for. IF a therapist can't handle it, perhaps they should rethink their career choice[/QUOTE

I completely agree.

Awesome re. the therapist who allowed their client to vent for a year. Clients need what they need. My old therapist would have slammed a door in my face week 2 and was intolerant to anything that wasn't praise.

A lot of this comes down to the industry attracting a good number of mentally unstable workers that have the pathological need to be needed. It's like... Don't let my pain and suffering get in the way of your savior complex...
