One of my therapists seemed to have clean motives, but it was still love bombing. She was piling on caring and attunement probably due to mindless adherence to therapy orthodoxy, but more because client adoration is her drug. Even though it was not deliberate or malicious, it was still a huge manipulation. I don't think therapists should be let off the hook for provoking addiction or dependency or confusion on the basis that they are trying to help. Just my take.

Also personally i dont want someone feeding me feel-good messages just because i pay them to do so. I actually felt better when i retroactively rejected all the forced, phony drivel that therapists spoon-fed me.
