My T is the first one to tell me these things. In fact, she has...multiple times. She knows that she can only help me as much as I want to help myself (admittely, very little), but that she is willing to hang in there with me as long as I am willing.
This is not to say she doesn't try. She throws out all sorts of different things I could attempt in order to make myself feel better, but I reject them all. I gather I probably am highly frustrating, but she never shows it.
Not ALL T's are cackling to themselves how they are hoodwinking their clients. My T has been up front with me since day 1, and I find it refreshing.
