  35. I do appreciate listening towhat he says because his thoughts, ideals and conversations always have an element within them that is thought provoking. However, as a former lecturer he has obviously spent a lot of time on his own refining his thinking. He's had these conversations with himself, and the challenges have come from himself. He's not used to having dialogues with other people. He doesn't seem comfortable having actual dialogues with other people. He continually interrupts the other person rather than letting them finish their point. That is quite disturbing given that he's a therapist. I wonder, does he constantly interrupt his clients in this way? If so, he's doing the opposite of what a therapist needs to do to be an effective therapist... Being a therapist is about giving the client time and a safe, supportive, non judgemental, listening space to allow the client to give an uninterrupted voice to their thoughts.... in order to clarify their thinking, their feelings about what they are going through. I would be far more happy to listen to him if he gave the respect of listening to those he is interviewed by without butting in all the time. Watch him, see how often he interrupts. It's irritating to even listen to, let alone to be in the receiving end of. I always sympathise with anyone I watch him talk to. He is talking TO them rather than WITH them. It's uncomfortable to watch. Especially given his "I am always right" tone of voice. I'd like to see a calmer, more laid-back Peterson who actually allows everyone to articulate each of their thoughts before jumping in and cutting them off. It shows a lack of respect to the people he talks to which I find deeply troubling.

  37.  @pwalk4160  I'm not saying therapy sessions don't sometimes require the counselor to offer a suggestion of a possible action. But as someone who has trained as a counsellor and consequently been counselled, the two go together with ongoing professional development and supervision, what a counsellor should be mindful of at all times is the difference in power dynamic. A counselor's role is to empower someone not disempower them. Like all relationships the counseling relationship requires rights and responsibilities on both sides. And a duty of care by the therapist never too overstep boundaries or think that they know what the person should do, better than the person themselves. The ultimate goal of counselling is to make the client's need for the counselor to disappear. The counselor's ultimate aim is to make themselves redundant because the client has developed their own inner resources enough to be self sufficient. We could talk for hours about this! Part of your disillusionment with the counseling process might be down to something as simple as a lack of the right rapooy with your counsellor. That's a huge factor too. You have to find someone you can WITH. It's a process and you're working together to achieve your aims. You are not a passive consumer of counseling, you are an active participant and should be able to say anything, express anything, including perhaps that you feel you need to be more "combative" in the sessions as you put it. You might find that if you find a new therapist you can really gel with, that you can explore those ideas with them and move to the next stage. Like I say, we could talk for hours about this. There's lots to say!
