I think the therapist is more a mirror, krazibean, rather than a blank slate. Therapy is to look at your own stuff, that's why you hire a therapist. Two people's stuff and a regular relationship would be too complicated when you're trying to work on your own stuff. They reflect back what we express so we can both look at that together, better.
