In my opinion, the a provider-client relationship doesn't exempt a clinician from simple civility. Nor would I find sweeping mountaintop pronouncements about my alleged defects the useful. I'd find these are counterproductive because 1)they impart that person A is entitled and qualified to censure person B. 2) the label gives me no true insight to improve my character going forward.

Furthermore, I thought the consulting room a singular place where one is encouraged to verbalize pain, confusion and disappointments. I didn't realize this act was to be evaluated and castigated if it took the wrong tone.

I don't understand the ethos of those in therapy. From reading this thread it's considered useful and supportive to score if someone is a survivor or a victim or a help rejecter, if someone responds proportionately as if there's a meter, and that venting in therapy is woefully unassertive, commiserate to vomiting. Again, I wouldn't find these condemnations useful nor do I speculate my life would be happy if this is how I communicate with others.
