My therapist was sincere and wanted to help. But her own needs were mixed up in the process, and it was inevitable that once a conflict arose we'd be competing, like two addicts. So in that way it was incomprehensibly dishonest.
The client pays and so ostensibly the therapist works for the client, but in my observation the client usually ends up a subordinate of the therapist, in terms of both power and need gratification.
Anyway just my annoying viewpoint, your situation is not mine.
