But, that may just be me being bitter late on a Saturday night.
In fairness, none of my therapists have mentioned either of those concepts. They may believe them, but at least they don't yammer about them.

Glad they didn't yammer about them, at least. I think you're right that (at least sometimes) it's a thing because therapists talk about it. I wonder though, how much keeping clients on the hook is a thing. I mean, I'm sure it's a thing sometimes - but how much? How often?
Seems to me (and I could have a filter bias, here) that people here have the opposite problem - T's trying to push clients away, be less available. I read comparatively fewer posts about T's wanting to keep clients coming in.
Unless you meant 'on the hook' as in responsible. As in, 'this is your problem, client, not mine. Because transference.' That makes sense to me.
