I never looked for or wanted caring so whether they claim such a thing or not is of no matter to me.
It has never worked the way they claim for me, but I found a way to make them useful that I am willing to pay for. I am not saying it is the best value - but as a sort of hobby it is not as expensive as some.

I think it's great you have found a purpose for the woman, as you call her
. I guess I simply expect someone I pay $100+ per hour to have more to offer than their mere presence. I expect expertise. I expect the therapy to work as it is described on the tin. And it just doesn't.
It would be one thing if it were simply ineffective too. At least then it would be benign. But it's not. It activates traumas, fosters dependence and does so under the guise of being therapeutic - until the therapist decides they're done with stringing people along and claims they have one of a half dozen terms or conditions.
