Hey, last time I looked, I wasn't challenging the validity of your therapy or the integrity of your therapist. I don't even know the guy. For some it's Feng Shui, for others it's golf. It's your dime. Whatever floats your boat.
My only concern is with the poor people seduced into that kind of perpetuity with it's attendant cost, when genuinely effective interventions are available that could transition them to a life that is complete and satisfying without the need for a therapeutic crutch. In that context, the opportunity cost is huge. It's a lousy way to live. And the therapist who sustains a relationship as eternal pal kind of stinks.
