Frrrrrr. I've had several therapists over the years and I see the relationships as an equal rather than ranked with them having more power. A lot of my sessions are discussing topics of trauma and past beliefs leading to current actions.. 3 of my longer term therapists have cried during our sessions because something I said made them remember something they suppressed or realize something they didn't intend to unpack that day.
Its made me trust them more and also has given my therapists the comfortability to tell me to "stfu" when I'm overthinking or heavily downplaying a situation. But, therapists tend to need more therapy than they want to admit ☠
Every therapist gotta have a therapist of their own until we get a therapy circle going and world peace will finally happen :)
The neglected and abused child to therapist funnel is real and guess who never gets the therapy they actually need lmao
