If the end goal is the same(healing)why does it matter? perhaps someone should start a new therapy that includes all these things........i'd sign up! Because its real.Sometimes i think all this blank canvas stuff is horrendously cruel.

hi dragonfly,

I don't understand what you mean by "because it's real." Do you mean things like hugs or gifts or a T self-disclosing?

I'm not promoting some kind of zero-affect, blank canvas cruelty, and neither is the podcaster I don't think. I'm just suspicious of the value of some of the things I see get posted here about therapists' behavior.
