I'm sure you're right. I don't think he'd work with anyone who wasn't interested in changing harmful behaviors.
Come to think of it, he's even very intolerant of self harming behaviors. And once I remember being absolutely furious for asking me questions about whether I would hurt my son. I was having some suicidal ideation at the time, but I was absolutely furious that he didn't know me well enough to know that I'd only ever hurt myself. He said he did know that, but that he also had an obligation to make absolutely sure that a child would not be harmed. I suppose if he was willing to alienate me to protect a child, when there was absolutely no reason whatsoever to think I'd ever hurt one, he'd feel the same about other clients.
Hmmm.... It's very helpful to think these things out.
