Has your therapist ever been rude to you?
I go to her for social anxiety & depression It was like my 7th time going & I just did not want to talk. I just sat there and cried & said "I don't know", "I guess" because my mind felt empty. And she started being rude to me. I don't even wanna go back next week D:
Is it rude to tell my therapist I think she's beautiful and lovable in my eyes? Usually, it's rude to comment on people's appearances, but in therapy can I say whatever is on my mind, or should I hold back to be polite?
Most of these answers are way off the mark, but understandable because they are offered by people who are not therapists.Classic psychoanalysis is built on the premise that “the work is in the transference.”Transference basically is the feelings you “project” onto your therapist that drive from your subconscious. Transference is good. It points the therapy towards the issues you may need to resolve.People on Quora seem to be confusing “transference” with “countertransference”. The latter is bad. It's when the therapist projects his or her issues onto the client.So people are correct in telling you that your therapist can never reciprocate, but they are very wrong to suggest your feelings would cause the therapist to recommend somebody else, our that expressing your feelings would be inappropriate.The feelings you have for your therapist should be divulged, explored; just not acted upon by the therapist. Only if (s)he has reciprocal feelings should a new therapist be needed.Free your soul. Say what's on your mind!
How do you handle rude physical therapy/therapist?
I go to physical therapy 2x weekly ever since my car accident ( lots of surgeries, also got traumatic brain injury). Walk with 2 canes, disabled. There are times when I had to cancel my therapy apt because I was sick with flu. 2 weeks ago, I missed an appt, overslept and woke up at 1:30pm and called my P.T to let them know that I might be about 5 minutes late, then they tell me that I actually missed my appointment. I told her " my appt is at 2pm" only to be reminded that it was actually at 10am! So I apologized and told them I wrote the wrong time on my calendar, I asked if I could still come in and she tells me no. The next week, the P.T who's also the owner, comes in and tells me I missed an appointment, in her very strict manner/tone. I told her I'm sorry and told her what had happened. Then last Friday, I was 10 minutes late, she was at the front and as usual I sign my name in and hand it to her. She then tells me that I'm 15 minutes late. Not even a smile or hello from her. I tell her that yes I was late and couldn't call because I left my cellphone at home. Then she (again in her rudely manner) tells me that she's giving me a homework, a list of goals in a piece of paper then tells me that if I miss an appointment for whatever reason, she's going to boot me out. Are P.T's allowed to be that way to a patient? I don't like confrontations, kinda timid, feel like im being barked at by her. But so rude esp w/ my TBI. I'm very emotional. How and what to tell to her?
Is it rude to tell my therapist that I don't want to talk to her today?
I have an appointment today but I'm kinda pissed. I told my therapist that I'm not interested in talking to her and she insisted that I still see her and lie behind my moms back. I owe her money (I pay every three weeks) so I want to give her the money and then leave. If she tries to make me talk I'm just going to stare at her. Is that wrong? Therapy is a waste of money and I'm not depressed anymore.
My therapist told me to "shut up"? What can I do?
Seriously... You should of walked out. The reason why you are in threaphy is to talk about your issues, not to be told to shut up..... then what is the point of going, ya know? You should find somebody else to see.
My therapist yelled at me!?
Ok I have been seeing her for over a year now and she's super nice and has helped me a lot but yesterfay I called her to talk about something and she asked me a question and I answered and I wasn't mad at all and all of a sudden she said i had an attitude with her and I was being rude and disrespectful and she doesn't appreciate it she told me like 3 times and I had no idea how I was I know I wasn't I mean I'm so upset now because I feel like even if I was upset a therapist shouldn't yell at you I feel like I don't even wanna see her again cause if I'm in a bad mood she'll yell at me or something am I over reacting? Or was she wrong and mean? What should I do? Thanks
Is it rude to tell your therapist that all you want is medication on the first day?
I don’t think it’s rude, but it would be super helpful (and save time, energy, and money) to convey that information at the time of the telephone intake. In California (and maybe other states?), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists can’t prescribe, recommend, or even suggest medication - only refer a client to a physician to discuss medication. So if a client is clear that s/he only wants medication and no therapy, a therapist would suggest that the client have that conversation with his or her primary care doctor, who could then refer to a prescribing psychiatrist.If that happened to me, I would simply feel bad for the client that s/he had to take such a circuitous route to get his/her needs met. And as long as the person was in my office, I’d probably explore past history with therapy, presenting problem, and talk about how, for some people and some diagnoses, a two-pronged approach (talk therapy and medication) can be beneficial.But is it rude? Not at all.
