What should he be doing differently? Honestly, i dont get it. I feel like hes just sitting there, and shes hopping around, jabbing at him. Hes not reacting - he is not going to wrestle with her! So she is like, fine im leaving. And he is like, dont let the door hit your butt on the way out. Which may be uncalled for, but so was the jabbing?! Idk. Im truly puzzled.
Although we never see therapists the same way - I kind of agree.
I don't think anyone is advocating to stay with this particular guy. But I don't see him as doing anything out of what he openly admitted was his way of being a therapist. I don't even see what he said as being mean. That is not the same as saying a client needs to stay with him - choose a different sort and see if it comes out differently. People do what they are going to do until they, for whatever reason, decide to do something different.
