I like this discussion! Thanks SD.
Me, I'm okay with being cared-for - on my terms. If a therapist tries to force me into the mould of their idea of the kind of care I need I'm going to shut down and fight them every inch of the way. The kind of care I need involves being listened to and having my opinions respected. If my T can do that, then I will allow myself to be cared-for. He seems to be doing a decent job of it for the most part, and if he ever effs up, I'm pretty quick to tell him to BTFO. Being cared-for doesn't mean losing power and autonomy for me. If anything, it's the exact opposite - I'm with Lolagrace on that one...
Where is the original article btw? Somebody mentioned it was sickly sweet... So I do see the point, I can't stand syrupiness either...
