In most business relationships the professional is not selling things like love, corrective emotional experience, trauma healing.

I get that some use therapists as a sort of psych consultant, but I don't see how this is in any way a business transaction. It's still based on emotional disclosure and pretty intense intimacy and vulnerability.

I dont think the issue is that clients are expecting the wrong thing, it's that therapists are selling it.
Thanks for this!
