I see where you're coming from and I agree therapy is a paid for service and it's supposed to be centered around the client's needs. But in my opinion, paying for it as a service does not always mean therapy is what you want it to be, just the way paying a doctor doesn't mean you'll get a prescription for any drug you may want. Many therapists do use the therapeutic resource at least at some point during treatment and it can be an important part of the treatment plan for some clients and for some Ts.

But I think she views therapy as a paid for service and in some way it is, it is whatever you want it to be because you are paying for it. She see's t as a professional like a doctor or dentist with whom there is no relationship- just a paid for service, a job and that's ok too as we all have different needs and wants.
