They do have their own beliefs and are entitled to, but they aren't supposed to push it on you and if they do so unintentionally they should be confronted so they stop.

I wouldn't want to go to therapy if I felt manipulated. And I'm very sensitive to that, which is why I don't even like directive therapy. I only respond to non-directive approaches.

That doesn't mean I resist change. It just means that I can't be talked into or manipulated into change.
