Manipulative,just about money,creating or perpetuating some type of unpleasant psychological response in the client ... seems like may be an over analysis of the situation and judgments being made without knowing the full extent of the OP’s history with this therapist -she may be all the things above or she may have exhausted all other options for her time to be appreciated as valuable-

The same over analysis/assumptions without all facts is occurring by those choosing to defend the bizarre approach of the therapist

Exactly-over analysis all round - but that’s maybe what the profession does to us

But again, the issue is not the therapist wanting her time to be treated as valuable. I don't think anybody is saying she needs to act as a doormat for OP. The point of contention is that it sounds like she attempted to muddy the waters regarding WHY she was establishing certain rules. It was completely unnecessary for her to say that OP would benefit from the arrangement. She could have just said take it or leave it, and not thrown in anything that could have been construed as manipulative.

As you said above, this type of 'analysis' sort of is what the therapy did to me, in a way. I don't do this type of analysis day in and day out, but in general, I am much less reactive of a person overall, adjust my expectations of others in healthy ways, don't act on impulse quite as much as before, and can usually avoid interfering with a person's autonomy, thanks to this type of thinking. 🙂 |

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