I really don't think that T's are out to create a bunch of "Mini me's" out of their clients.

I think that's why most T's don't offer advice (which can itself be infuriating sometimes!) but rather give us room to come to our own conclusions. They may help us figure out what we want, but I think our wants remain separate and distinct from theirs.

That's not say that my T hasn't been very directive with me sometimes. Those times were when I was engaging in self-destructive behaviours and not along the lines of "you should accept Jesus Christ as your lord and saviour".

Nonetheless, if you are worried about feeling like a sparrow in a hurricane, if would definitely talk to your T about your worries.

Most T's really want us to settle in our own skin and not any port in that storm.
