This seems to me to be one camp... where the t believes that they need to push or tough love the client through growth. And then there is another camp that believes that the client will need less from them as growth progresses and will naturally pull away - grow up and leave home. [not to say that there is only these camps, and yes this seems overly simplified]
I hope my t is in the later camp not the former. I want to be allowed to grow up at my rate knowing that my t is there each step of the way, being supportive and caring.
Then again, it might all be based on what the t thinks the client needs, which might be where some of the inconsistencies come from with some t's.
