My current T, very positively. Seems to believe that the more one understands about how therapy is supposed to work, the more beneficial the work actually is.

Ex-T, totally different story, although I wasn't reading much about therapy while in therapy with him, only at the very end when my head was spinning and I was searching for answers or at least to confirm that I wasn't "crazy". Recall bringing up an article about doctor and patient writing about their experiences of a therapy session and then sharing them with one another, and his response was condescending and not at all positive.

My current T is more than happy, and has unsolicited by me, explained how various aspects of therapy should work (i.e. the frame, dependency (it's ok), sexual feelings (ok), etc.), which I have found more than comforting.
