Agreed... not all, or even a majority of abused clients. However I think if someone is able to function reasonably in life and is more of a ‘worried well’ client, revisiting certain dynamics CAN be harmful. It depends entirely on the person and their baggage, so don’t want to make too many sweeping generalizations.

I also don’t think ‘good fit’ can always be determined till it’s too late. It’s kind of like a mechanic coming to a car with only a certain types of replacement pieces, and not sure what’s broken until they start working. There are cars with common broken parts that the perhaps many mechanics could fix, and some with odd or uncommon broken parts that the mechanic doesn’t have... except now all the car pieces are taken out and the car may not be working or able to get to a new garage. It’s complicated work.
