Kay, my therapist has never made me feel guilty because I haven't done what he wanted; in fact, I don't even know what he wants me to do except that he seems to be prodding me toward goals I set when I started therapy (get a divorce, decrease depression, decrease OCD are the ones I'm aware of). He seems very nonjudgmental.--Cindy W
