It's also classic narc behavior. Or just a sign of deep insecurity.

There are exceptions but I can't count how many stories i've read where a rupture sent a therapist into a near-psychotic frenzy of client blaming. Happened to me as well.
Therapists are not all the same though
Sure there are narcissist ones. Ones that have huge egos. Ones that never admit fault

But believe it or not! There are ones that are humble and do admit mistakes and apologize.

They don't all fit in one box
