And that kind of goes with my line of thinking of some therapists working on creating dependency in clients rather than helping them to become independent.

Clients sometimes aren’t encouraged to get better and clients in return are afraid to get better because it means they might lose that special bond or even lose therapy and their therapist all together. So it becomes never ending cycle
