One person I know, directly challenged their therapist in regards to a mode of treatment, asking the why of a particular direction treatment and their use of leading questioning tactics.
Said therapist became very combative, declaring that they were the one with the diploma.
The long and the short of it, therapists are only human, fallible, and have as varied motivations as any other person, be it a genuine want to help others to heal, or to just simply have a revenue stream to facilitate car payments.
