I know I personally have had 2 therapists who i feel were misguided and I have spoken to that. Also I have had 2 other therapists who I really cared about at the time even though there were some really hurtful, thoughtless things said by them to me. And I think that I have commented reciently that I feel very lucky to have the therapist I do because there seem to not be as many great therapists out there.

It is like all people; Not all people are great people. We all do mess up and make mistakes, but not all people are good. No generalization can be made that all people are either good or bad. But depending on one's experiences, one could say "not all are ______". I've had a 1/5 experience in finding a great T. I feel fortunate now with the 1. I know of course there are more than 5 T's in the world... some on this board LOVE their T....

I know for myself, the more rules and restrictions that are added, the more I think i am back in my abusive household and an unwelcome individual. I trust that we can find the difference between "bashing" and "being able to speak to our experiences".
