J, I have to agree with you. That would drive me crazy. I went to inpatient rehab and never felt like that, despite the fact that I was there 7 weeks. (Well, ok, I did feel like a child once in awhile when we were at the movies and staff members had walk us to the restrooms, lol) But your counselor should be there to help you reach your goals, not treat you like that. Unfortunately, many "counselors" are former addicts with little to no training. See if any of the folks there are licensed therapists. If not, I'd be out the door. I don't want to knock 12 Steps, but I've heard this is kind of typical at some of those rehabs (the place I went was not AA based). If you can filter out some of their nonsense and take what works, try to keep going -- or find another kind of rehab. I wanted to do outpatient but everything was AA based in my community.
Btw, what is "The Secret"? Is that the law of attraction movie? Curious.
