I guess I'd say "no" only because it seems to me that to say "yes" is a return to child-like magical thinking and dis-empowerment and that would be a step backward to me.

The choices made in what to reveal, the recognition of my responsibility in making that choice, and the acceptance of the consequences of that choice are all important to me. That decision making process is empowering. "Instant" knowledge is the illusion of power.

The result of this process is what empowers me to be ready to experience reciprocal knowledge. The post-therapy connection with my T is only possible because of the prior empowerment. Otherwise, the power differential would make this dysfunctional.
Thanks for this!
