I get to choose what and how I change -a therapist does not.

I'm assuming it's on a client by client basis and that a therapist has a good enough relationship with the client to know how they will take "tough love."
And it is all about choice for both client and therapist. The client can choose to stop whining and start working or not and the therapist can choose whether they can work with a client who chronically complains or not. The therapist shouldn't be and isn't under any obligation to work with any client group.
