Well, I wouldn't say that. It's more like he was a fellow babbler for a couple of sessions. Someone who understood that among other sad things, it was also a horrible horrible thing for a therapist to do to his clients. He said it really helped him understand the responsibility a therapist had to his clients.
Because you know, most people don't understand. They feel sorry for the therapist and think the client is being self centered. For at least a couple of weeks he understood the other side.
Then he went to a meeting for the guy's clients and found out a bit of what was so bewildering to him. That made him feel better.
Ironic, really.
