In CBT exposure therapy for phobias, the T clearly explains what they are planning on doing and what the likely effects will be. Do T's of other modalities not follow this protocol?

Good question. I am no professional, but even if I was I couldn't speak on behalf of everyone in the system.
I would think there is a certain degree of info that ought to be shared about the modalities. Then again, there are many people who are retraumatized by therapists even if they set out the guidelines for treatment and remain transparent throughout. Personally I think success of treatment relies on many variables, some of which are beyond the control of patient and therapist.
