Oooh. Thank you both so much! Huge takeaway for me = “I'll never be glad it happened, but I am indeed glad for what I learned from it happening”. I think that is very helpful for radical acceptance, as well. And a good way to accept bad things. In terms of being able to tell your therapist all the dark stuff. It’s so important! I wonder if a therapist could be screened for their opinion on this. Mandated reporting can be very helpful, but it can also make it difficult to work on those taboo topics (including suicidal ideations or suicidality). Whenever I’ve struggled a lot with something, I’ve felt I couldn’t be completely honest with my therapist, which limited their ability to support me. I did make it through, but had to overly rely on online support groups and resources. (Very helpful, but I do wish I could have had the same transparency with my therapist without fear of having my treatment cut off or government interference.)

The fat lady chapter was horrible, honestly. I don't think it's wrong for him to describe those thoughts and write about them, what I found more disgraceful was his complete lack of awareness and condemnation of it. If that is a chapter about dealing with countertransference, he did not manage it at all. As a therapist, he should've known better.
