Not my point - I am wondering at the behavior of the therapist - not the client.
And I also know I am smarter than the therapist - but I am not nearly as wily.
I don't understand how a therapist thinks they get to give a client permission to do or not do something. Arrogant sons of *****es is how that sort of thinking seems to me - not your analogy which I truly do not understand. I know we see therapists for very very different reasons and you never appear to understand mine any more than I do yours.
