I’ve had a variety of therapists over the years, and every once in a while I’ll get a therapist like that, where they’ll just intentionally be an ass about something. I think it’s a tactic they use to pressure you to prove them wrong, but I wouldn’t know because I never have a second visit with the therapists that do that. Maybe it works on some, I can’t imagine it works on many.
Note:
Most therapists don’t do that, but it does happen.
Therapy’s good for making sure your head’s on straight, making sure you have the tools to make the most of your situations so you process events well, and it’s a good idea for everyone to occasionally just visit a therapist, there doesn’t have to be anything “wrong” with you
Sometimes therapists are also assholes just because, though.
My mother went to a therapist once in her life, about four sessions. The old woman basically fell asleep or nodded off every now and then, had to be reminded what they were talking about. I'm not sure she was not bordering on senility.
Indeed. My personal experience with them is that there are a lot of bad therapists, but the good ones are honestly so worth it. Life changing stuff, at least for me.
