I completely agree. I have no idea why people (anywhere - not just here) get defensive and personally worked up just because someone has a different view. I don't mind disagreeing and discussion - but if you are going to get all upset because I don't believe what you believe, it seems a waste of energy. Why bother at all with what I believe - it has no bearing on any other person here.
I also think it prudent to remember therapists are often ****ed up people in their real lives. There are certainly plenty of examples in their own literature on this.
