I agree with this statement. I don't think therapists lie to people. I think being open, direct , and genuine in their efforts to help you are important qualities of good therapy. I think good therapists are good therapists because they can see beyond our shortcomings/problems/pathologies and find at least something likeable or worthy of caring about. Therefore, if a therapist says he/she likes us or cares about us, it is likely the truth.
