BTW, when a therapist makes a mistake, the conventional framing is that they should acknowledge it, maybe apologize. And this will "heal" the client. Frankly, this is crazy dysfunctional to me, because the client's well-being now hinges on the actions of the god-like therapist, who could decide on a whim that instead of an apology they will just "refer out". Or they could decide to attack the client for exposing the therapist's weakness.

Looking back on my own experience of this, it was a total absurdity...

The relationship was contrived.
The big rupture that occurred was contrived.
The therapist handled it badly and took no responsibility.
When I finally did pry apology from her, it too was contrived.
And it resolved nothing.
Both the rupture and the repair were simulations, cheap knock-offs.
Thanks for this!
