> My therapist didn't terminate me in a very professional manner either, I mean, over the phone, you know, and laying the blame squarely on my lap. "No, heh, your transference is too strong." How on earth can any therapist say something like that???? Jesus. You can block me now Dr. Bob.
Hi Susan, that's appalling and I am so sorry to hear that your T was so callous and irresponsible. It is entirely the responsibility of the therapist to address any transference on the part of the client, and certainly blaming the client for their completely natural feelings is unethical in the extreme. It can only serve to increase anxiety about future therapeutic relationships-and I think we all know how difficult therapy can be even in the best of times. Have you found someone better?
Cheers, Alexis
