Therapists prey on and benefit from people who don't feel like or recognize they have a choice. Therapists put themselves in a position of power and many people go along with it for various reasons- therapists expect it and use it.
That is what I meant.
The one I hired once complained that the reason therapy was such a bust for me was because my life worked and I had no reason to submit to her - she actually said that.
