<<<Thanks for responding... Are you saying you like the thought of being under the care of a therapist who is confused about themself and their mission and responsibilities???(((Dinah))), not everything happens as events... Some things happen as processes... I have witnessed many times, folks first becoming aware of their internal conflictedness and/or thier dysfunction... Later, with lotsa practice, they declare themselves free... I did... I told the guy in the mirror I see everyday, that I felt free for the first time in my life... Freedom is not autonomy... Like I have, a therapist who becomes free from obligations/expectations and the crushing pressures of multi-generational, multi-layer dysfunction, still remembers how they were, how they got better, and why all of this is important... If therapists haven't been through this process, they don't have a clue, so they are wasting our time giving their opinions... This process honors human ability to adapt, something without a pricetag for insurance coverage purposes...
People just get what they want, wellness... Yes freedom and wellness are interchangeable...
Try it... You'll be glad you did...

PS: I've asked before, "If no one can succeed at getting well, why try"??? Wellness and freedom are possible.......!
