This is a caricature (straw man) of my position. I said nothing about therapy going on forever. I am not required to solve conundrums like... how should a client caught in the snare of dependency/attachment react when faced with planned abandonment.
I'm calling out therapists for drawing susceptible people into exploitive faux relationships that expose them to high degree of risk for traumatizing experiences like abandonment and rejection. The rest is details.
