Hmmm.

Well, in general, my therapist and I have a pretty pleasant relationship. There have been times when he's done things that have upset me, and I've told him about them, and we've talked (and talked and talked) about it, and he always listens to my point of view and apologizes if he's hurt my feelings, or there's been a misunderstanding, or whatever. I'm not used to telling people when I'm angry at them, but I try to be respectful, like I would want him to be with me.

However! There have been times when I've told him "I was at home thinking "T is SUCH an %#@&#!!'" or whatever, and he just takes it in stride. I told him once that I thought he was narcissistic because he likes to talk about the therapy relationship so much since it involves HIM and not just me. Then I apologized later, and he said "why should you apologize for saying what you were feeling?". He's very, VERY patient and seems to be more than willing to take whatever I throw at him. Ha - speaking of throwing things at him, I told him once that I had a STRONG urge to throw something at him, and he offered to move so I could throw something at his chair.

I read about your therapist asking you to leave. I can't imagine my T doing that unless I got really violent or something. I think it's their job to let us express whatever we need to express, and then to help us figure out why we feel that way. So, I'm sorry that happened to you.

I'll be interested to hear what other people have to say in response to your question!
