Seems many therapists have their self worth wrapped up in client adoration and worship. Burst that bubble for them and suddenly everything is about their hurt feelings. Are you supposed to repress your feelings about doing better with less therapy because it can't bear to hear it?

Worse still, clients are encouraged to disregard therapist needs and feelings, which of course is impossible unless you are a major sociopath, and so when the therapist suddenly wants their hurt acknowledged, it's jarring and "breaks the frame" and reveals the contrivance of it all. This kind of crap drove me crazy.

And now you have to focus on repairing some weird rupture with this guy, paying as you do, and for what?
