For me the question is why do therapists think they get to do it? I think those people say most things as an attempt to manipulate clients into what the therapist thinks is best -regardless of what the client thinks or wants. But for me, it does not matter if the therapist believes what they say or not. To me it would be an affront because the therapist is in no position to me to say such things. It makes no difference to me what the therapist thinks about what I do and for them to assume they matter is the part where I think they fail.
