Really, really crazy. Therapy is just crazy.

I am not sure why is it confusing? I doubt it is more confusing than any other job dealing with people.
Sure people make mistakes.
Sure one can apologize ( rather than blaming a client) and be forgiven but as in any job, especially licensed job and job dealing with people, some mistakes are not acceptable and some are too damaging. And in some circumstances mistakes are deadly
There are mistakes I can be forgiven for or written up for or sued for or fired on a spot for or forever lose my license. Saying "we are humans" isn't going to cut it.
People forget that this is a job not something they do for a leisure
