I find this disingenuous. We've all seen the hundreds of posts here describing overt dependency situations, with clients regressing into child-like emotions, and many more describing poisonous abandonment and betrayal episodes. Are these feelings wrong, and in need of correction by the next therapist/jedi master, who will explain to the hapless client that it's just business?

Some therapists say they can re-parent you. Many suggest you ought to trust them, even if you trust no one else. Many promise to transform your life and all that other bullsh*t. Many are tweaking unconscious impulses and needs with their role playing. This is the general milieu that gives rise to abandonment feelings.
