I must give Dr. Jacques credit for her efforts as it was clear that she attempted to help me. Also, I realize the ways in which my own personality and pathology shaped the interaction. Dr. Jacques' attempts to help became harmful when she interpreted my need for more transparency and mutuality as a pathology, and became visibly angry when I questioned her reasoning for specific interventions. Being a philosophically minded person, I had a need to examine the philosophical underpinnings behind some of her statements, to clarify where she was coming from. However, she responded to these needs of mine in a way reminiscent of Nurse Ratchet on "One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest": Squash any dissent immediately by pathologizing it. She was also curiously unconscious about some of the transference / countertransference dynamics and was clearly acting out in some of her behavior in session. All of this would have been acceptable had she had the humility to acknowledge some of her mistakes, or if she had some compassion for my so called "resistance", but this was not the case. I am afraid of psychologists like Dr. Jacques. I certainly do not recommend her to anyone like me, who has a sensitivity to "strong personalities" and has trouble speaking up, because she definitely ran over me with her opinions and personality, and then blamed it on my pathology. Certainly I am not perfect and my own pathology was involved, but were it not for her own, there would have been no problem, as I was never abusive or disrespectful towards her, and never had this kind of experience before.
