Really? So once you step over the threshold of a therapist's office, you become completely unable to manage yourself? To take responsibility for who is in your life, and who you allow in it?
Listen, I said that there are ****** therapists. But who on earth is going to protect you if you can't / won't / don't protect yourself? I mean, in simple terms of practicality nobody can.
A bad therapist is a terrible thing, but if clients keep paying them, then bad therapists stay in business. So what do you seriously, practically suggest can be done, if the client is not responsible?
Being overly attached to a bad therapist is about the closest real life thing I can imagine to the proverbial cage with an open door that a prisoner simply refuses to walk out of.
The problem is, how do you help someone who won't take the available exit?
