I dunno, Una. I get the fallacy of trying to change the world but there is something to be said for that much-vaunted safe holding environment that therapy is supposed to provide, precisely so that you can come to terms with the fact that you can't change the world.
I do think an authentically unfazed response from a T is critical. In the absence of that, it is rather hard to say where a therapeutic relationship ends and a "real" (read dysfunctional) relationship begins.
(Or maybe I'm just over-sensitive, now that I seem to have chewed through two Ts in short order.)
