Out of all the therapists I have seen in my life I think only one was useless.
And I think clients also have to be able to tolerate the stress of working through ruptures too.

I disagree with what I bolded. That wasn't my situation -- I am one of the ones whose long-term THERAPIST wasn't able to tolerate the stress of working through ruptures.
But still, the result is the same -- expecting more of a client than they come to therapy with.
I don't know how a therapist might address something like that, if they think that's something they are noticing, besides just letting things slide for the client. But isn't that their job? Or needs to be considered part of their job? Currently, it may well NOT be -- and therapists are getting off the hook because too many clients are not well enough to demand something better.
