I don't believe most therapists are enlightened and I don't experience them as compassionate. I usually do not mind Alice Miller ( one of the ones I have read who talks about enlightened witnesses).
But actually, this idea is not solely mine. Any number of them write about staying out of the client's way as being a large part of the job.
