It seems to me that Hope's concern is not that her it is her therapist's job to agree with her, but that it is her job to work towards explaining her internal experience in order that it can be heard by an other. Isn't this a basic aim of most therapies? I think you are too keen to dismiss one of Hope's primitive and vulnerable wishes - to speak clearly and to be heard accurately.
