But from what i've seen,
expression of certain needs is in fact not allowed in many cases. Step out of line, get fired. One of the running themes of this forum is fear of termination or other punishment. I see many people calibrating their behavior around what the therapist wants or needs or finds acceptable.. Whose therapy is it?
