And why is that SOME people have unrealistic expectations and confuse a therapeutic relationship with other kinds of relationships? And how are they going to understand and come up with a different perspective AFTER that happens? It may not be as simple to SOME people as it may be to others -- for reasons, as I have said, that we went into therapy with and which, I believe, need to be taken into account by the practitioners, just as if a blind person, say, went to the doctor -- there needs to be some recognition of the patient's/client's condition and accommodation made for that. Asking a blind person to read and sign a form for consent to treatment is -- well, ludicrous, isn't it?
