Maybe that's just my perspective.
Except UPR might require some element of compartmentalising. Not all clients are likeable, some clients are challenging and unpleasant to work with - I am one of them. The inauthentic element would be for a therapist to claim that they like a client when they don't.
Thanks for this!
