I agree with that statement. I was fortunate enough to have Ts who explained the process, how it worked, what they were doing and why before we started and along the way. No guessing games. Questions were welcomed. Nothing happened without my permission. I knew what I was signing up for and what I wasn't going to get. For a long time I thought that was standard procedure in therapy. I personally don't get the secret priesthood aura some Ts seem to like.
It seems to me resistance is a wise course if one feels anyone is trying to lead them without explanation or permission. It's therapy, not the army.
