I find this article kind of sad. Such as this quote:
"The whole point of having a therapist is not being emotionally invested in them, [and] they aren’t emotionally invested in you if they’re doing their job right”

This is so far removed from my experience of what therapy is. In my experience, both the therapist and the client become emotionally entangled, and their working through these entanglements results in growth for both.

No doubt there are some incompetent therapists out there that deserve to get dropped. But if people bring the same issues to the therapy relationship that they bring to their outside relationships, and then they just "ghost" a therapist without warning at the first sign of a rupture, I don't see how they can have any hope of learning to improve their relationship skills.
Thanks for this!
