Time to accept responsibility for your choices, T!

Saying something like that to a therapist is something I believe everyone should do. It is not arrogance. Those people are making choices. It is true. Those people encourage you to say the things that you wouldn't say in regular society. No one believes a therapist is going to stop her whole world for a client that I can see, but telling the therapist that's how one feels is exactly what those people ask you to do. I don't think shaming someone on here for having those feelings is going to help or stop them. Further if those people are honest they would just admit. But they don't like to take responsibility for their choices. The blame squarely on the therapist
