I took "assess" to mean, in essence, does my therapist "read me" well. And yes, she does.
As far as assessing my progress, she tends to be, at times, slightly more optimistic than I am. But I truly don't fine that she's arrogant; I believe that she wants me to be healthy. Also, to be fair, she only knows what I tell her. If she saw me breaking out in a rage and kicking a door (and I haven't told her about the episode), she might have a different assessment.
I've worked with 5 therapists in my life, 3 individual and 2 group. Out of the 5 I'd say that one was arrogant, 1 was moderately so, 1 could be at times, and 2 were not at all.
Most likely if I knew any random 5 people I'd assess them to be the about the same.
To me, it's ridiculous to say that every person in a certain profession is the same. To believe that is as ignorant as any stereotyping is.
