I really liked this statement:

"This is true: A healthy therapist will not ever need you to stay small. They will be increasingly relieved by their incremental over-throw, happy to rescind the authority temporarily granted to them while old wounds healed. They will step down with dignity and acceptance of their own humanity and rejoice to see you claim your own authority when you are ready."

That's what I have seen in my T lately -- rejoicing in my claiming my own authority. He said from almost our very first session that his goal for me would be that I could find autonomy in my life.
