Most people don't come to therapy because they have high-levels of self-confidence and unconditional positive regard from their parents.
Why should we find it easy to believe that this person who we sit across from once or twice per week values or validates us in such a way? Most of us don't even validate ourselves-- it is difficult and strange to receive someone else's validation.
