This isn't a universal truth. I'm also in the US and I recently expressed some reluctance about getting better to my therapist. Not once did he assume I wanted to or suggest quitting therapy. If he had suggested it, it would have caused a rupture. We did have a deep conversation about my feelings about not wanting to get better. He told me my feelings were normal and that it was important to talk about them when they came up. I'm only commenting to show that there are therapists that won't take this approach.
