I like this metaphor. I think many Ts like to view therapy as something mysterious, and/or make clients believe that. I personally don't see anything mysterious, it is a designed and controlled social interaction IMO that can go in many ways. They probably want faith because there is nothing really solid and tangible that they provide, it is not really a service in that sense... they provide a room and person to talk about personal things. I am not sure what there is to trust, it can turn out hundreds of different ways. I can trust that the T will be there in their office at the scheduled time and will designate 45-50 mins to listen and talk with me. I also like to believe that the information will be treated as confidential. What else?
