Therapist issues

[Guest guest]

And possibly, this could be countertransference on the part of the

therapist. Might be that your issues set off her own issues to such a

degree that she cannot treat you objectively. Just my two cents worth. I

had a therapist that readily admitted to this problem...but she got herself

into therapy in order to continue with me. I'm really grateful that she was

willing to continue with me despite her problem, as it was with her that I

made the most progress. I am no longer with her, as i no longer need the

intensive therapy that I did at that time, but am in occasional touch as

friends by mail. I think it is lousy being terminated the way you were, but

guess it's better than to continue with someone that could not or would not

help you.

There are a couple of things that have come to mind here. The first one

being that the therapist realized at some point that (s)he was counseling

2 people that were some how related and it caused problems. For

instance, a husband and wife, brother and sister, etc. The other thing

that came to mind is a conflict of interest. In reality, the previous

scenerio would be a conflict of interest. Other things in this category

would be a difference of religious views, inexperience in field being

discussed (ie weight loss), inability of therapist to deal with his/her

own issues that client is working on. The only other thing I can think

of is that the insurance company was no longer carrying the therapist.
