I'm not altogether sure she's aiming for irreverance. I think it's more directness, although she uses a light tone.
I'm sure it works wonderfully well with many clients.
But I don't engage with people who don't treat me with the same respect I treat them. I don't fight about it, but I walk away. Yes, there are people who'll offer "constructive criticism" in real life. But I don't have to stay and take it passively IRL, I can walk away. And so can I walk away in therapy.
