I've been in therapy over eight years, am relatively comfortable, and would still actively protest contracts and intrusive goal setting by doing the opposite. Unless of course, I recognized it as a paradoxical intervention, in which case I would bless my therapist out thoroughly because I despise being openly manipulated, then do exactly what he didn't want me to do. Gentle suggestions I accept just fine. :)
