I hear a lot of stories of why people leave therapy. Therapists who do too much nodding and smiling without saying anything ever seems to be high on the list.

I get it – some clients just need to be heard and validated – but there needs to be a balance to stay human!

Then there was the time I was reading a chart and saw a medication increase along with a note to the effect of “talks with a goddess”. The client was Neo-Pagan and that’s NORMAL for that spiritual community!
