Potential New T Failed At The First Hurdle

Can therapists like this hear themselves? The self-assumed preciousness is embarrassing. I wonder if he has considered what your boundaries might look like - for example, not being willing to work with a therapist who is secretive about their professional background. On the plus side, I would consider this a positive reinforcement of your gut instinct.

Thanks comrademoomoo, that’s actually a really good way to look at it. I have huge issues with trusting gut instinct as I always think it must be me who is wrong. What you said has made me see that actually I probably should trust myself more....I wouldn’t have seen that without your comment, so thank you.

He finished his email stating that if we choose to work together then he will not accept his boundaries being compromised and just to bear that in mind with any future questions. I feel like I have been told off!! Think it’s time to cancel and yet again start searching

You have every right to ask those questions. He sounds like an A hole.
