The first time my therapist brought my case to supervision was 2 or 3 years into our 8 1/2 year time. The Supervision group told her that she should terminate with me. But she didn't. Supervision is recommendations and advice, but the therapist can decide what they will do. Someday I'll tell that story, but not until my life settles down a little.
Judy, I'm sorry that your therapist was abrupt. That wasn't fair.
When I was interviewing prospective therapists one of them told me that it was a requirement (either for their license, or membership in the APA or whatever, or for the state, or ???) that all therapists have supervision. I didn't get the details. I just wanted to be sure that when I drove another therapist crazy that they would have somewhere to go (Yes, that is what I thought at the time, No, I don't know if I still think that).
