Absolutely. I appreciate that some clients are uncommonly challenging (I believe I am one of that wretched gang) and that many therapists are not skilled enough or careful enough to help clients manage their pain. However, it should be a fundamental aspect of therapy that clients can feel safe enough to believe that their therapists would deal with a non consensual termination sensitively and safely. It's horrible that this has happened. I imagine several posters here dread this therapeutic outcome, myself included, and we can foresee the emotional terror of such an ending.
