I had a therapist once position the therapeutic relationship as that between a client and an independent contractor. You’re hiring the therapist to provide a service to you. Just because someone is in excellent physical health means they can’t hire a personal trainer? We decide how we use our time and resources. Also, most therapists will proactively recommend a reduction in sessions should they believe that their client can maintain at a less frequent rate. I have had several therapists say that their aim is to work themselves out of a job.
