A sledge hammer and a wrecking ball...
I once gave a free psychoanalytic session to a SP.
I reported that in one of my former posts (I guess it was in 2012) in the São Paulo thread.
Here's in a nutshell the whole story. I went to the former privê RedWay's (Vila Mariana in São Paulo) with my friend ABG. ABG is a good guy but sometimes he is trying to help too much. He told me that there was a new
Nissei (i.e. Brazilian/Japanese) working there. Apparently, when we arrived, he told Vani (the owner) that her protégée SHOULD give me the best session ever.
When the poor girl came to my room, she was so frustrated that she began to cry. She was a struggling Young woman (19 or 20, I don't remember exactly) struggling hard to have a decent live for her and her little boy (2 years old); she even went back to school in order to have better opportunities in life. She was insulted because Vani (and ABG) asked her to give me "the session of my life". She told me that she didn't like the way Vani treated her because se told me that all her previous sessions in RedWay were done with a lot of implication.
I felt bad for her and instead of having a "session" I talked to her in order to alleviate her sufferings and calm her down. As I have a formation in Erickson's psychoanayitical (and psychosocial) theory I gave her a free session. I think that was an appropriate gift because after the session with me she went back home and never came back to Redways. FRom that moment I took my distance from Vani and from my friend ABG.
