I don't know what to answer, honestly. My T is a DBT T. While DBT encourages non-judgmental stance it doesn't mean there aren't ever judgments, it just means that we work to be mindful of our judgments and/or try to reserve our judgments once we've checked the facts.
I don't think my T gives me unconditional regard in the sense that I can do no wrong nor do I think he behaves in a way that is disingenuous. He's forthright. So. I don't know if that fits the definition. It doesn't sound like it.
But that doesn't tell me if it's possible or not. Just that my T doesn't do it. Maybe?
