It doesn't have to be right or wrong just we have different takes on it.
Would someone be so forgiving if a teacher thought their kids the wrong syllabus or an electrician to wire their house but they didn't do it right and the house went on fire!

I would definitely forgive a teacher for giving a child the wrong syllabus, as long as the mistake is corrected. In that situation, the only cost is the loss of time. In the case of the electrician, there are physical things lost that cannot be replaced. In therapy, you don't lose physical things when the T makes a mistake. No one is perfect.

My doctor once gave me an antibiotic that I ended up being allergic to. I became incredibly sick. The doctor made a mistake. Does that mean she's bad at her job? No. It just means that wasn't the most effective treatment for me and we needed another one. Did I still have to pay for the doctor visits and the medications, even the one that harmed me? Yep. That's how life goes. Everyone responds to treatments differently.
