They all have different styles, you need to select one that you feel comfortable with, any one you feel like shouting at is probably not the one for you. If you are having problems with something and just can't see it, then maybe the approach is not right.

Sometimes personal anecdotes are helpful, and sometimes not.

The same thing happened to me. I wanted to say "Am I hear to to listen to your problems??"

A therapist has no business letting things get to that point in a session. Very unprofessional, and unfair to the client (especially for it to go on for 20 minutes! Time is .)

I've never been to a therapist.

We've been through a lot of therapists in my family and several of them have shared their personal experiences. I thought it was great - very validating and made you feel like they really understood you because they had experienced similar things. I certainly never thought about reporting them for being unprofessional.

Having said that, getting into a shouting match with your therapist is f-ed up. My ex did that, which was a big reason I realized that there was no hope for us. When he would scream at the therapist and storm out of the session (in marriage counseling), I just gave up.

Um you really aren't supposed to know those things about your therapist. Some background is normal after a very long time - but no not sexual experiences ever?

Terrible boundaries on his part.

I be reporting that therapist and finding another.

Unprofessional and potentially dangerous for some. The guidelines for some diagnoses stipulate the extra need for detachment with the patient to ensure the issue being addressed doesnt manifest in their relationship. I had some therapy during my divorce that ended up being quite wide ranging. We got around to schooling and she stopped for a couple of minutes, explaining she knew some details about the school and needed to be sure she wasn't crossing any lines due to her own possible biases. She wasn't even a pupil there, it was all boys. When the last session was over I asked her about it on the way out, she said she knew history of a staff member there but it was unprofessional of her to discuss it further. That's the sort of professionalism you want in counselling. It's sounding like your therapist was maybe getting a free lesson from you?

That's very weird your therapist would tell you so many personal stories that now you know about his finances and sexual experiences.

I think you need to ask your therapist.....

I have had disagreements with a therapist before, but what you're describing is quite unprofessional. I would definitely seek out another therapist.

I do not now, nor have I ever, had a therapist.

It sounds to me like he's stepping over a line. A good therapist is very mindful of boundaries and what is and isn't appropriate to bring into therapy sessions. You could report him. At the very least stop seeing him and find another therapist.

Yes you are overreacting the fact that you're in therapy indicates that you probably need to help getting along with people, this may not be good therapy for it for you it may work with other people the more important lesson is that you learn to accommodate his problems read them into your therapy that will make you a more well-rounded person unable to deal with people

That’s against the code of ethics and he should have his license revoked.

Doesn't sound normal at all.
