I think it happens more than people like to think about - not all the time with every client with every therapist - but often. I think a lot of people just quietly quit and go on with their lives. I do not think it helps as much as they like to say it does. But I do not doubt those who believe they have been helped. I think there are those clients who like to sing the praises of the therapist as well as those who think they suck and then those who fall on a continuum between the two. I mostly think it is a crap shoot as to whether therapy or any therapist will help any person or not.
