I think therapists find using them as "the good mother" (not my own personal phrase but some of theirs) is something that can be beneficial to some people.

She mentioned several times how much I want to be in control which is probably preventing me from having strong emotions. I think she wants to decide for me to experience not having control/trust etc. I don't think she would ever terminate early. In fact when I told her I just found out I have great insurance, she said I'm welcome to come as long as I want. I've been wanting guidance from her about how to deal with it. I also think she feels I have more to work on than I realize.
