Wow......That's not true. At least not generally. There's all kind of therapy and all kinds of therapists.
My therapist practices humanistic therapy and empathy is the biggest part of the client/therapist relationship. Btw, I won't see a therapist who doesn't practice humanistic therapy, aka as client or person centered therapy.
