No, and it scares me. I think perhaps I fall for the therapeutic lie of unconditional positive regard , though I know therapists are human, and I've taken classes in counseling where empathy and rapport are tricks to make the client more receptive.
I'm sure they omit certain things (such as I doubt they'd tell a client they dislike the truth) and aren't entirely truthful, all the time.
Like you say, therapists are wily.
