> Lately, my therapist can not seem to control his emotions. He is constantly telling me he is angry at me, he is yelling at me, he is critizing me and basically fights back when I fight him.

> I am feeling so horrible about myself. I have not been with him that long (~6 months) and it just keeps getting worse and worse. He is only the 2nd therapist I have ever seen, so I do not know if this is normal or not????

> The last session I walked out. Now I don't know what to do??

> Help?I had a therapist who also got angry with me after I had been going to her for a year; she started yelling at me one session; no good reason. She had always been caring and kind to me before so it was a shock and I sat and cried through the entire hour! I thought she might have stopped after she had made her point but kept on going and I am not one to cry (almost never).
Later I found out that she knew I had googled her and a member of her family was disgraced in the psychiatric community big time and she was extremely angry that I found out and thought it was an invasion of privacy even though it was readily available to anyone.
Needless to say I was terminated but for the best. I am finally ready (after 5 months) to see a new therapist (and I already googled her and found no skeletons in the closet!)
I would say, go find a new therapist - you don't need this "treatment"! Best of luck to you!
