You've brought up an excellent point. T's seem to be intrigued and attentive when they have a new client to "figure out." But as therapy progresses it often seems to become just a job for the therapist. At that point, if the client feels like the therapist is treating the client as less interesting/less important don't many clients create crisis (either consciously or unconsciously) to "win back" the attention of the therapist?

I've never created crisises. But I've tried to prove to them that they are looking too deeply into an issue. Mainly I just feel like therapists can be shady back door people who worry about themselves more. I checked out an old therapists facebook page and one of the other therapists posted "if you come back to in person you can get unlimited paid days off." That comment rubbed me the wrong way because it sounded like they could just cancel on their clients whenever they wanted to and take the day off for whatever reason. Idk. I shouldnt be snooping in the first place though.
