IDK. I just don't see therapy in which manageable transference has become an issue as able to be so neatly compartmentalized as to separate the therapy from the presenting issues. To me they are interwoven and (assuming the T is willing and capable), the way out is through. Walking away may short circuit the present concerns, but I don't see how it is the same as healing. But it really is dependent upon having a T who will not allow the therapy to become unfocussed and unbalanced. Only you can know whether your T has that ability within your relationship.
