BudFox, well said, I agree. When it's convenient for them, they're superhuman, they want us to trust them with so much personal stuff and they share nothing of theirs, want us to rely on their expertise and authority, even challenge our autonomy and tell us how to think or feel about issues....

And yet suddenly in other times, when they make mistakes, and when we want to blame them, they withdraw into them being human just like us, prone to errors and confusions and weaknesses.

How convenient for them!

I think each T has to be required to read patients a long list of what they are and they are not, right from the get go, so the patient is not under the wrong impression nor can the T keep doing the yoyo dance of mindfudge with the patient's head as they please. Be same person and stick with it!
