Long story short, the therapist has a daughter who gave birth to a premature baby at 25 weeks. The therapist said that she would possibly consider moving out-of-state to help her daughter. Obviously that was very scary for me, and I went on an angry and hateful rant at my therapist. One of the things that I said was how is it fair at 15, 18, or 20 patients lives are going to be affected because two young people decides to shag up and have a baby? She responded in an elevated voice, "Did you think they wanted to have a premature baby?" She also said, "How about having a humanly reasonable response?"
She didn't acknowledge her unprofessionalism until I said how much that hurt and made me sick to my stomach. She said that that was completely unprofessional of her. No apology like I'm sorry. I later reiterated how bad I feel about it and she said that if she could take it back she would.
So that's it - long story short. I also feel like she is withholding empathy. She also asked me if I misheard her that it was only a possibility and that it wouldn't happen until six to twelve months from now. But that isn't the point. The idea of her moving out-of-state was bad enough. She seems to want to work through this with me. But I'm apprehensive about it.
