Most people are supportive of other clients and post in support of the client's experience, far from therapist acolytes. Most people are aware enough to engage with the nuance of the work. Thankfully, I am not sure I have ever seen someone here say that therapists never fail. Equally, clients have autonomy and, as adults, we have some control over our progress and engagement with therapy.
I mean yes, of course. BUT. I think neither blaming the therapist nor the client is helpful here. And I agree with Nammu that calling the therapist a Narc because she points out that progress in therapy is mostly based on the client's willingness and ability to put in the work is not exactly nuanced either.
