If a client is submissive and compliant this is not good at all.
I think a better phrase would be the therapist should not care more about the outcome than the client. Not work harder. The client who does not know what to do cannot lead. Therapists are all so cloak and dagger and non clear that the idea of the client not taking the lead when the client does not and cannot - by the design of the therapist- know- is in my opinion - blaming the client. IF the client knew what to do, they would have no use for the therapist in the first place.
Thanks for this!
