| Really just want to reiterate GGMeme and Ganesh's points re: integrity of this therapist. When I read your initial post I was pretty shocked that this therapist had expressed such a strong opinion, and when you later explained that this was a first session I felt doubly angry and concerned. It is generally not good practice for a counsellor to express her or his opionions as this can severely interfer with the theraputic process on a host of levels. On occassion, within the context of a well established, safe, relationship it may be appropriate, but during an initial meet most definitely not. To me there are massive alarm bells going off, as this is not a good precedent for how his person is going to behave in the future. I would either meet with them again and have a thorough discussion of this and ask them why they said what they said why they felt it was OK to offer an opinion etc. (and if they are not willing to discuss this, then get out now), or just go find someone else. And good luck, finding the right therapist can be a long process, but infinitely worth it. |
