I sort of wish he had your therapist's policy. In fact, I thought of your therapist when I found this out. I thought "Daisy's therapist wouldn't do that."
I'd better not say that though. He's a bit jealous of your therapist. :)
When I was little, it came out that my aunt's husband was abusing her. I remember my normally stolid, calm, sensible, pioneer-like grandma holding up her kitchen knife (which she was using at the time - she didn't go get one) and saying she'd kill him. She didn't, of course, and wouldn't have. But seeing her level of anger that someone would hurt one of her children made me feel so safe. As well as astonished because while grandma got angry, she usually got angry in a sensible way.
I guess that's something I can't expect from my therapist, that level of anger. Not that any of his clients would have done anything to me personally. But...
I hope he's good with them. I shouldn't be that surprised. His unflappable nature is the thing that has allowed him to be my therapist for so long.
