I might be way off base here, but yes, I believe that intellect does have a part in it. It helps me to process, to understand, to plan. There is definetly a place for it in therapy. And I do not want to get to0 dependent on a therapist. There is transference, yes, and sometimes that is a part, but I do have to move on. I do not, can't and won't stay in that child state for too long. It will breed more dependence. Yes, it '"is part of a therapist job to help me move through it" but it is my job also, because I am an adult and it is not a passive thing. Now this can change with time, more experience, etc, but for now, I need to deal, heal then move on.
