I don't think many therapists are going to sacrifice their own self image, their comfort, their illusions, their belief system, their professional allegiances, etc for any of their clients. Client needs are lowest priority. When there is conflict, usually the client is the first thing to be sacrificed. If a client's anger or neediness or criticism threatens therapist equilibrium or the established order, adios client. Even it's a manifestation of PTSD. Or perhaps the client is "allowed" to continue but will be shamed into submission. Therapy is unfailingly hierarchical.
