Yeah, if the therapist is telling the client what to do (instead of helping the client learn to work through information and come to a good judgement) are they going to follow the client around for the rest of their lives and continue to tell them what to do. Even if the client makes a poor judgement this is a time to learn and the client still needs that support from the T. The more that I think about therapy and healing, the more I think the best route is a simple developmental route. My role as a parent is to teach my children how to make good decisions. I certainly cannot follow them around and constantly make decisions for them.
