"Hope" for what?

Hope you get better?
Hope your symptoms subside "enough"?
Hope to get you functional?
Hope to keep you alive?

I really don't get the not having " hope" for the client since the client sets the goals.

I see "after that question, I actually have hope for you"... As " I think I can earn your trust to really help you."

i kept thinking so you dont have "hope" that you or therapy can work for all of your clients? I think all humans question their ability some times and for therapists I think it involves the client.

Then why do you take them on as a clients? because they know the client needs someone. A person that is unsure they can help is better than no one even if its temporary.

Do you think its important that a T has hope? I think all humans that interact have hope for the other person.

Do you think it is worth asking a new T this question? yes because its already effecting your relationship.

Would it make a difference to you to know your T does or does not have hope for you? as long as they can help I don't care. I seriously think my therapist has no hope for me like most others

Is it enough that you have hope for yourself? yes as long as they're skilled.
