Absolutely, Deb. Not a good idea to see someone you don't like. How could you have any attunement?

But you know there are some people who go to therapists and they might say..."well, he's a little weird but I go anyway." Stuff like that really puzzles me.

What I was referring to was that sometimes going to therapy gets a little difficult and we tend to project onto our therapist.

Like I've gone through periods where I don't really want to go...but I do and I start getting fussy about the way my therapist does this or that.

As a therapist I've been on the end of a few angry phone calls after I've just had a nice close session with a client. I think it just gets too scary. Understandable of course.

I think we act a little like turtles when we're in therapy. Go a little closer and then pull back.
