I hate it when therapists attempt to reassure me. First - why would they think I would find them reassuring is beyond me. Second they usually try reassuring about something I am not needing it or wanting it for and that pisses me off because they missed the point of what I was doing. This is, for me, not about how I interact with the therapist. It is about other things - grief sort for me.

So I was wondering if it was common for therapists to reassure badly. Do you find the therapist you hire appropriately reassuring?
