I absolutely can't agree with that. If someone has emotional problems then the only way to make any changes is to shake the equilibrium off the balance, which then will necessitate searching for new balance. Otherwise you will just stay stuck where you are and then the whole therapy is just pointless.

Of course, the whole treatment environment must somehow support this process of repeatedly shaking the equilibrium and finding a new balance - either the sessions must be frequent enough or some other support systems must be in place. Once per week therapy without any possibility of intermediate contact is in many cases not enough though.
