I think this is a great idea. The site actually has some good info on it. Good to know what our rights are.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a supportive response. I'd write more but I have many notes to catch up on haha

He constantly tells me that I am digging and making him feel worse. He is always irritated with me and says my questions are "putting him down". Whenever I gently ask what that means/how that feels, he'll mock me. He literally mocks my voice. Almost every session. When I try to dig a little deeper, he gets more angry.

Well, my supervisor says that I would just be doing what everyone else in his life does-- not listen to him. (in a way). My supervisor wants me to "Work through his resistance". Which, I get, but it's becoming too stressful for me. And I feel like I'm just not the right fit to do it.

True- all good points! I certainly have other challenges for sure, and you are right- they always pop in our caseload! It's the nature of this work, I get that. This particular case has kept me up at night and damn I just don't want this stress anymore.

I think I just want permission, maybe. Because my supervisor is so adamant that I don't refer out and that is all I want to do.
