    Yeah, that’s not how you win therapy. The goal is to get them to cry over your past trama while you are making this face :3

      Yes they can. It’s their job. But sharing that sentiment with them can be a good first step. And they should certainly be able to handle that.

    I’m the opposite. I was talking to my therapist about being socially anxious. She said I didn’t seem nervous talking to her. I told her “No offense, but I don’t really care what you think of me so there’s nothing to be nervous about.”

      You don’t have to share shit, and I don’t recommend doing so

      But what the absolute hell do you have to say to get kicked out of therapy by a therapist?

      I mean I can see where some therapists may be unable to work with certain clients because of a conflict of interest they didn’t know about prior. I also see where a therapist can’t deal with certain client’s particular scenarios because it hits too close to them (if you didn’t know this, pretty much all therapists start to study psychology to figure out what is wrong with themselves).

      The only thing I can see actually getting kicked out over is because you just absolutely won’t put in the work the therapist prescribes. Mental therapy is exactly like physical therapy, it’s only going to be helpful if you do the uncomfortable work.
