I agree with that assertion, Una. Therapists like to be in control of what goes on in a session, which is understandable. Kind-of like a school teacher in a classroom. Buuut, I suspect that's partly what I don't like - because I have struggled with this issue with M. all the way along - is the feeling I have, while in therapy, of a power imbalance. Call it "boundaries" or call it *whatever* - to me, it feels like a power imbalance.
