To the OP's point, yes, I would leave a therapist like the one you describe. Therapy should be one place you feel safe to talk. Goodness knows there are few places where that's possible. In my experience, certain types of people cannot bear to hear something opposing them and they will try to shut you down, so even if your therapist tries to remain neutral, who knows what's going on underneath. I had a therapist with strong religious views and I couldn't see them either. I think the main thing is...do you feel safe being open with this person? If not, I would leave and find another.
Thanks for this!
