I have been seeing a therapist for a few years, recently she has been giving me advice that is a bit odd.
My partner has had a vasectomy and doesn’t really want kids. I used to want kids, but now I can see myself not having kids. I was discussing this with my therapist because I think it’s important to figure out going forward. She told me that for my birthday I should ask him to reverse his vasectomy. That seemed really questionable to me and inappropriate given that it’s his body and that should be a decision that we come to together if it were to happen and not forced upon him as a birthday present. She also asked me point blank if he was rebounding to me after his first marriage, which was odd because he and I are very serious and well matched.
She also told me last session not to eat too many avocados jokingly (I’m plant based), to not gain weight. But given I’ve struggled with disordered eating, it was a bit of a triggering statement.
I think based on these things and my lack of positive trends with this therapist, it may be time to switch but am unsure. Also now that I’ve told my partner these things, he really thinks I should “fire” her.
Tdlr; therapist is giving me questionable advice, I am wondering if finding a new one is a good idea and my partner thinks she has crossed professional boundaries that merits her replacement
