I feel really grateful that my current therapist is really up for questioning traditional psychotherapy. I suspect he himself has been in more therapy than any other therapist I’ve had, and felt some of its more negative effects. He is really actively non-hierarchical, and he never tries to impose his interpretation of events on me. I am always the authority on myself.

He does have one little blind spot where I think he doesn’t seem to realize how poorly he handles one particular thing, but now that I have figured out what was going on I can avoid the pitfalls of that.

Generally though I think the profession would be enhanced if there were more therapists like him. He plays a leadership role in several organizations and conducts many trainings, which gives me reason for hope.
