But seeing as she does have a financial incentive to keep me coming back, wouldn't actually helping me in a way that would have a major impact be counterproductive to that since I would then be likely to stop seeing her? Furthermore, what if she just tells me false things that I like to hear rather than the truth because she feels that I would be likely to stop coming back? Also, what if because of things I told her she actually has made a moral judgement on me and doesn't think I deserve to be helped and thinks it's ok for her to just keep getting money out of me and wasting my time?
Do you typically judge the motives of the people on your life?

All the therapists I have seen (including the one who I saw once because it was a horrible fit) said that it is their job to work themselves out of a job. They want us to heal and bo longer need them.
