Actually - I did not call all of therapy malarky. If it helped you great. Any number of things can help people.

But what I was calling malarky was the idea that if they don't make it mysterious and unclear, if they actually were to be clear and forthcoming about what they are doing, that it would not work at all. The idea that clients are so incapable of understanding or being able to still use therapy appropriately if those guys would stop all of the smoke and mirrors and game playing and just explain to clients how what they are doing at the client works or at least is supposed to work - it would not. If you found the smoke and mirrors game useful - good - but malarky that it is the only way.
