I don't get it either. I don't think it is that hard for a therapist to challenge or disagree yet still be supportive or nice. That seems like a basic communication skill. Many people here seem to describe that their therapists are able to do that. So I don't really see it as a big problem from what people have posted here.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
