One thing I won't do as a therapist is describe therapeutic techniques when talking about my clients, it sounds like scientific experiments. Human are much more complicated than that and shouldn't be research subjects.
Plus it is important not to have the T cap on all the time around people who are not your clients or friends. I labeled my post as a rant, and sometimes rants are just letting off steam. It isn't asking for scholarly advice on how to handle clients, it is just meant to be heard, and supported emotionally.
If you ever have children, you will understand on why mother who adore their kids and know them well, just need to vent everyday frustrations once in awhile. It usually isn't someone asking for advice on how to handle children.
So maybe just being a friend who listens would be a better approach to someone who is not a client or patient who is venting.
