I now see vulnerability in the context of the artificial asymmetrical therapy relationship as totally inappropriate. The therapist does not model openness or share in it. Quite the opposite... they are creepy and opaque voyeurs. And meanwhile there is implied pressure on the client to expose all. Quite frankly it was something like emotional rape.
