I'm talking about the serving the needs of the client professionally and therapeutically. I didn't say anything about serving the client's every need, or personal needs.

The therapist is a paid consultant hired by the client. They are paid to help the client, not just choose therapy "services" from a menu and dispense them in machine-like fashion. They need to be flexible and accommodating, not unbending and difficult. The tools you speak of are largely unproven anyway, so the relationship itself would seem to be make or break. And if the paid professional lacks the skills to form a decent relationship with the client, then maybe they do need to change, or find another line of work.

I don't know why you are explaining basic therapy concepts or issuing life lessons. The issue at hand is the OP's difficulties with a T that she finds to be inflexible and unhelpful. She is venting, as we all do, and presumably just wants to be heard.
