Hi,
Just for the record, my previous therapist was one of the WORST therapists I have ever encountered and I also share with you (anyway, I think I share) the devastating effects of bad therapy. She had no idea about frames and boundaries and on endlessly proclaimed herself to be my "good mother". It's another kind of love, but to me - it's even worse than romantic love b/c it's such a primary relationship - the mother/child bond. It's laughable to me now, how she could even propose this; & through her utter ineptitude, I have learned alot about myself and the therapy process - but it was & still is something painful I grapple with all too often.
But I still disagree; most therapists who go through proper training (& I emphasize this - b/c there is a proportion of therapists who don't, in my opinion), discuss and explore this sensitive issue in their own education and hopefully, therapy.
I hope we can agree to disagree.
