As long as your governing principle is an impersonal rule book, it does not change based on your feelings. The therapist needs to be dependent on their knowledge rather than their feelings. By overly relying on feelings rather than facts, Dr. Bowen warns, “When the world gets aggressive and nasty, you get nasty back. You counter a feeling with a counter-feeling.” From June 7-8, 1988.
