WHAT?! This was a BIG RED FLAG! Lack empathy?!
How the hell does my frustration and anger towards abusive distress line workers mean I have a lack of empathy for them?
Luckily I caught this and made sure to include the word, "projection," because she was totally projecting this onto me, but even still, if I didn't know about projection I would have actually believed her!
Is this something a therapist should say to someone? To come to that conclusion so quickly and considering I was the one who brought up a lack of empathy from the abusive distress line workers, seems convenient for her to project it back onto me!
Since when is having anger towards abusive people a lack of empathy? I could not believe she would say this! Absolute hogwash.
I will be terminating therapy with this therapist immediately and letting her know this was the deal breaker - never have I been told I have a lack of empathy for venting about abuse! UNBELIEVABLE.
Thanks,

If it wasn't true, you'd say something like, "Nope. That's not it; that doesn't make sense." Instead, you freak sky-high: projection, malpractice, absolute hogwash, deal breaker. The lady doth protesteth too much, methinks. I pay careful attention to the answer which lies within the manner of response to a suggestion or accusation, and the very manner of your response suggests she sank your battleship.
