I have to agree. I wasn't sure how to phrase things without it sounding like a defense of Dr. T, but @@ put it perfectly. I would add that it makes me uneasy because it sounds like she was a bit over the top in the way she reacted. I don't mean she overreacted exactly, but to me, her using "what the hell" and doing lots of body language to convey her outrage feels... idk... kind of fake and manipulative. Maybe not intentionally, I don't know. But it kind of reminds me of how some therapists love bomb their clients.
Call me a cynic, but I would be skeptical of a therapist who doesn't even know me being outwardly anything other than curious and maybe sympathetic about the stuff you mentioned.
