But what's implied is that client needs come first, within reasonable limits, to such an extent that it's appropriate to bring out nothing less than attachment needs.
The therapist is likened to a selfless parental figure whose love and caring approaches unconditional. That is insane, and sets people up for devastating betrayal.
Therapists are running a business. Plus they might well be emotionally broken themselves, and needing relationships with their clients to be just so, according to
their needs.
