In reply to so I asked my therapist, posted by Penny on September 5, 2003, at 11:52:55
What your therapist says does make lots of sense. & It's great she openly explained her philosophy when I think she could have just as easily gotten defensive herself or something. Congratulations to you for bringing it up!
I was really curious to hear what she said b/c my therp does the same kind of thing w/validation. She's also made reference to the concern about people walking away from therapy if they feel too much conflict. I never realized there was such a skill to keeping clients from terminating before they're ready.
