I have never understood why people make the parent analogy. It makes no sense to me and I find it offensive as a concept. Therapists are not parents and the presumption they may stand in or act or whatever is patronizing and condescending.
I think they set up an artificial structure which can be useful for some people. If the structure benefits you, why not use it for what it is? It can be like a lab in my opinion.
