When we listen to a friend confide in us I am sure most of us try to be understanding and compassionate the way a therapist would be to us. However, don't we all occasionaly get that voice that says: 'oh you are wrong' this is b***' or just 'just get over yourself'. Do you think therapists have this too? when they listen and find it very difficult to symapthasie with you or feel you are too self-absorbed?
I hate to know that I pay them to listen to me, pay them to be 'on my side'
