Emily Elizabeth, it's clear that the consensus is that your therapist is wrong in doing that. Granted, the posters who responded are people comfortable with long term relationship based therapy. As I don't need to tell you, solution focused therapists and clients may feel differently. Does she hold that point of view?
I know it's not particularly comforting to hear that your therapist is wrong. And if she has a different view of therapy, she isn't *precisely* wrong.
I just never think it's right for a therapist's goals and needs to supersede a client's goals and needs. It would appear that that's what's happening. Would you feel comfortable talking about it with her in those terms? It might at least give you an understanding of why she's thinking what she's thinking.
I wish Poet were around to give her a cyber-forehead flick.
