I don’t suffer nonsense. If my Ts have done something to upset me, I will talk about it very soon after it happens. Most of the time I’ll do it in the same session, though there have been instances of me sending an email with my complaints and we’ll discuss it next session.

I’ve had varying responses; it really depends on the situation. I’ve had therapists actively try to repair, even when I wasn’t initially willing, and therapists who would almost actively instigate. I know that I’m not always in the right in all situations, but I have never regretted sharing my experience.

I had a therapist tell me one that I was essentially their boss. Though they’re autonomous people and will act in any way they choose, it is up to me at the end of the day whether or not I continue to work with them.
