I thought about this a lot while I was running this morning.

It strikes me that the person who wrote this sounds like a bad therapist who is bitter about their own inability to draw boundaries.

A good therapist understands that people have needs and needs are okay. A good therapist meets a clients needs while helping the client to find answers within themselves.

It sounds like this person tried to "rescue" his clients and ended up burnt out and angry. Yuck.
