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.

Yeah, but the therapists who are pushing the clients away seem to want them to keep coming too (unless they actually just dump them), just on their terms. And usually the pushed-away client clings more desperately. (What I meant by on the hook.)
I would assume all therapists want clients to keep coming in, just some get them to keep coming in without playing mind games. Those are the ones we don't hear about so much.
I'm going through an anti-therapist phase. Again. Still.
