Lb, one thing about your story – perhaps your therapist was right in this particular circumstance. And I agree that is someone starts up with you, best to walk away so that it does not escalate. But if someone is starting up with someone else, the rules change- how can anyone stand by while another person is being hurt? It sounds like this guy was behaving an awful like a bully. On the playground, we would encourage kids to not let the bully get away with his actions, and that keeping silent is really supporting him. How can we expect our kids to do the right thing if we are afraid as adults to stand up to the bully?
