I will post the author and book if I can find it. Luckily that therapist did not have the attitude that a client has to move on at the therapist's pace.
I quit telling the woman things because she blew them off or responded so off that it was not worth it to me to continue trying to talk about it = nothing about that is resolved, but I found it not worth my time and money. However, telling her how badly she failed is very much worth my time and money.
For someone who would get what could be described as unpleasant to very unpleasant reaction from parents/nuns if they expressed anger or sadness over treatment - the ability to keep doing it until it plays out can be very very useful.

Telling someone else how they should be spending their time and money and therapy is really really arrogant.
