That's not what I had in mind, but that is also a problem. What I meant by "questionable boundaries" is being more of a hired friend than a therapist, and talking about themselves and their own lives more than they should. Poorly trained therapists tend to take the side of the patient without exception, and rarely challenge the behaviors that can cause them problems. Therapy should feel challenging, and feel like work, at least most of the time. If it's someone telling you that you can do no wrong, that's not useful.

Thanks, you've put into words my somewhat bad experience with therapy.

Do you have any experience with Schema Therapy practitioners?
