Very good topic, as I struggle with this issue, that is why, I moniter it in therapy. The word alone " dependance" whether healthy or not, just bothers me. As far as im concerned, I didnt depened on parents, for anything, except basic needs, food, water, clothin, schooling, and a place to sleep. As I grew older, I took care of me, I may have gone hungry, and struggled, but I did it.

So to create a dependancy in therapy, in therapy for me scares me, and its not logical for work to be done. Some therapists maybe want to create this " healthy dependancy" but then how do you break or ween off these feelings the client developes for the t, hindering, future independence?
