I would be worried to hear about a therapeutic relationship that has no opposition. Opposition in the right dose causes a relationship to grow and a person to develop. (Think teenagers and their parents.) The presence of collaboration does not exclude the presence of opposition.

I think the OP's definition of opposition was not meant to be taken as the therapist is your enemy.
It's hard to understand that for people who had extremely abusive parents.

I would not participate in any therapy if I or the therapist saw things the way you have described.
