In reply to T rejected gift!, posted by PrincessDi on May 10, 2010, at 23:53:37
He was rude, self centered, inconsiderate and meanspirited. There is no excuse for his behavior, there is nothing in the psychiatric literature that says this is how a T should act..so don't think it was some therapeutic technique. A T doesn't have to accept gifts and can refuse them, but the issue here is the way he went about this. It was his personality shining through and I would level the playing field by asking for the bowl back next time you see him, telling him to go (blank) himself and walking out after you say it. From there return to therapy and continue to talk about the issues you have been working on before this tasteless interuption took place. You have to "show" this misfit how you feel with body language. Don't even bother trying to talk to him about it! You can't educate those who should know better. I am sorry this happened. Awful!
