That’s obnoxious. What appointment was it for? This happened with a therapist I had. It was awful. She’d also yawn a lot and seemed annoyed when I’d start venting (reason for appointment). Like I felt rushed.

isn't that, like, the opposite of what a therapist is supposed to do?

I had a therapist once who used to try and one up me during our sessions. After the third appointment, had to stop seeing her.

I had one therapist tell me she was tired of hearing me talk about my issues, but wanted me to come back because she needed the money for her upcoming honeymoon.

I cancelled all further appointments after that, but she kept calling me, leaving voicemails berating me for "giving up" for months.

I finally had to call the office and tell them I didn't appreciate being harassed by this woman, and then the voicemails finally stopped.

Some people really shouldn't be therapists.

Wholeheartedly agree with you. On top of one upping me all the time, this lady over shared constantly. I know more about her sexual preferences and sex life than I ever, ever wanted to.

My wife’s old therapist had that while somehow also being amazingly effective. Was absolutely wild to listen to the couple sessions I was invited to sit in on. I think it’s that she didn’t really faff about when oversharing, so timewise it was the normal ratio but the actual information was highly concentrated lol
