Just a question about this part: Are you saying that therapists can't be genuine because of the nature of therapy, which as you sort of imply, best it can do is provide "genuineness in the context of a very particular role"?
If so, do you see this limitation as something unique to psychotherapy or every professional role in our whole society?
