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.

You're allowed to go through an anti-therapist phase again and still. I think that's totally justified generally and especially given Smaug et al. And thanks for your clarification re: on the hook.
I'll have to keep this in mind when reading the forums. I'd never really considered the distinction between "stop coming" and "Keep coming, but on my terms."
Not something I've experienced either way, personally. Beavers has never gone out of his way to keep me showing up, but neither do his ****-ups seem dictatorial. But he may be his own special brand
