I am wondering - if the patients would do much better with their dependancy on their therapist if they from the beginning direct their patients to depend more on God rather than on them?? Instead of asking the patients to depend on the therapist, wouldn't it be less hurtful to ask the patient to depend on God and just use the therapist for some guidance?? Then it wouldn't have to like "ok now you depend on me, trust me, feel close to, tell me everything, share me everything" and tomorrow "ok now you no longer have me, you are a nuiscance, you are clingy, you are needy, nobody can fulfill you" kind of message to the patient? From the beginning the therapist can say "Trust in God and I will help you, but I am not God - you cannot depend on me fully"
