If the professionals have expectations about clients, including what they need communicated to them, it could help a lot if they would make that explicit. I'm not at all sure that it's a client's responsibility to know in advance of starting therapy that expecting the therapist to "fix" them, or even read their minds, is unreasonable, from their uninformed perspective.
