I'm so sorry, okie. It makes me mad just to read what you wrote. Yep, for this T, client = cash cow. I'm glad you were able to tell her how you felt.

I do think there can be a conflict of interest with therapists who insist their clients do both individual and group with them. Maybe if the T thinks the client should do group, he should give a referral to another provider. I know most T's don't abuse this, and do gain value from seeing their clients in group, but is group for the benefit of the T or the client? My T told me about group therapy I might want to look into, but he did not suggest I join his group. I don't think I'd want to anyway.

I feel your T did something really scummy, okie. I'm sorry.
