The client can stay and deal with the therapist's methods (and stop agonizing and raging against it) or the client can leave.

Or the T could just comply.. Right?
When I started of in T.. it was with a different T (saw him no more than 3 times before he for medical reasons). My chief complain was panic attacks.. So the first two appointments were about how to handle the panic, ways of dealing with the stress. I finally said, ummm.. these are good techiniques, but after years of dealing with all of this, I would love to get to the root of all of my issues. After thinking about it for awhile he said, ok. That is easy, I can shift the therapy we are doing. So, isn't that a way that the T thought he knew best, but client said I disagree and changed his course.
