I know how very lucky I was that my therapist always took me back. There was a pdoc that didn't.
I don't think I'd take the chance again.
But I think for many of us (myself obviously included) there is this drive to see if our therapists can accept us at our worst and we can't feel really safe until we see that they can.
I wish all therapists saw it that way, instead of seeing it as a manipulation. Or if they must see it as a manipulation, to see it as a manipulation that has important meaning to us.
I wish therapy training included more feedback from us. Maybe therapists in training should have to read boards like this one.
(Or would that send them screaming into the night?)
