[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you go to a therapist, you tell them your woes but from an extremely biased, first person perspective. The therapist recieves the information from a biased narrator with no perspective or insight into other people the patient may reference. [b]How would a therapist guide you if she/he spends the entire session validating your perspective? [/b] There are so many people who dig deeper into their dysfunction or selfishness because they’re now being validated by certified therapists. [/quote] I am a CB therapist and challenging the patient's perspective is key to the therapeutic process. that said, there is some truth to what you are saying in that some therapists (to say nothing of various couches etc) will, wittingly or unwittingly, reinforce the patient's perspective, becoming basically their friend/confidant.[/quote]+1 Op, you are correct.
