I had one get mildly frustrated. But she was operating under a delusion... that something she said or did was going to lead to improvement in my life or well being. It was shared delusion... i had unexamined assumptions about buying a healing relationship like a commodity.

At best there were transient palliative effects. Was like getting a single large hit of some drug that merely masked symptoms. And meanwhile troubling patterns were being laid down which led to new and lasting problems.

The expectation ought to be... don't make things worse, and clearly many of them cannot even manage that.
