I don't think they are lacking in terms of another person because I don't see how anyone would get those things from another human, except maybe the non punitive part and now that I am an adult, I can generally get away from that on my own. I don't believe the therapist is an ally. At best she is sometimes possibly not an an active enemy, but most people are not enemies. I don't see how any therapist is supportive to any client. I understand people think the one they see is, and I am not saying the therapist is not to them, just that I don't see or understand it.
