I say the T has about 90% of the responsibility. Their job is to provide a safe container for the client to express possibly painful and traumatic deep stuff. That is a HUGE responsibility.
And if they are not competent, it can be like "a child playing with a live bomb" as someone said.
I would go further than the word "limitations". Any process that can end with someone emotionally and psychologically destabilized and then terminated against their will is more like deeply flawed or fundamentally dishonest -- depending on how often this happens.
