But it does take a T who is very capable.

Capable of what? Orchestrating artificial relationships with needy people for profit? So exploitive. And so hideously risky and unethical.
Nearly everyone here seems hopelessly caught in the therapy vortex. There are a few bright spots, but these are dwarfed into insignificance by the endless stream of train wrecks.
My experience with therapy enmeshment showed me the system is one big dysfunctional family. And like most dysfunctional families, this one has limited capacity for self-reflection and self-knowledge. Most therapists see nothing fundamentally wrong with baiting (consciously or not) vulnerable people into destabilizing faux intimacy. Or they do it see it, but have their own agenda and needs.
It's a high-risk game practiced on at-risk people. And the client shoulders all burdens. If the "relationship" tanks, the therapist skates, while the client gets PTSD and goes back to square one with a new stranger.
