Sounds like typical therapist sleight of hand. The clinical persona hides the same petty bullsh*t that everyone else is harboring. And nothing brings out therapist wrath more than a client who is doing poorly. It crashes all the savior and guru fantasies. Too much reality. I was ambushed also, though not so blatantly. As long as I was a devotee, it was a lovefest. But when I clued her in on my real experience of therapy, she went a bit mental. It was all about her. From beginning to end.
