But lately I started noticing things. She mentioned how "world changes on a quantum level and we should adapt" in one of her posts on Facebook. And I know for a fact that she knows nothing about quanum physics or any physics at all. Then she says to me that she believes homeopathy is working. Not for her, but it helped some of the people she knows. And now I see on her professional page that she started working as a counselor for some, let's say, "Human Development Center." Not only that, she finished two of their programs. I visited the webpage of this center and they claim they can help anyone in two sessions. Only two sessions needed so the person can change his or her life. And though they seem to use some valid psychotherapy techniques and say that everyone is different and needs different approach, I also see a lot of pseudoscientific nonsence. Pyramids, "quantum physics," torsion fields, you name it.

Mind you, she never said or used anything like that in our sessions. She never even mentioned it to me, I asked her first. What we do is just a typical therapy process, without any NLP or something like that. I haven't had the chance to speak to her about this yet (and I definitely will), but I don't like this one bit. I'm starting to doubt her critical thinking skills and get paranoid that she will inadvertently use some unconventional approach on me.

What do you think?
For me, this would be just fine. I have more problems with rigid type therapists who can't admit that they just don't know what works, that much of it is trying different things.

Also, it sounds like a lot of this has to do with things you have found out about her and not things she brings into your therapy. If you're otherwise happy, I would just focus on what works for you.
Thanks for this!
