I can say from experience it
is traumatizing. It's also deceitful and irrational. Therapy provokes those feelings and the therapist encourages their expression. If the therapist then says -- those feelings are wrong, you're terminated -- that's crazy. In that scenario the client is doing their job (as it were) and the therapist is being difficult.
