Yes it appears that many therapists cultivate dependency and unhealthy attachment in particularly vulnerable clients.

It kind of saddens me to read on here how many people don’t go to therapy to improve their life or have a safe place to talk or what not but go to therapy because they are overly attached to their therapists up to the point that their entire life is in shambles or put on hold because they can’t function without relying on their therapists 24/7.

It appears that therapists cultivate it all while clients’ life is only getting worse. For many people on this forum therapy is about therapy and therapist, nothing else. It would be fine if it didn’t bring so much suffering to clients. I blame therapist for all that.

Obviously not every therapist cultivates dependency and not every client is prone to be dependent and attached. But it happens often enough, at least from what I see on this forum.
