Not true in my experience, none of my therapists have ever being absolutely and completely neutral. They might explore more a feeling with me, try to let me see a different perspective by myself but have never abstained from giving me their own opinions, and advice, when they thought it'd be helpful for my treatment.
Perhaps it varies by culture/country? Because it's really way off experiences I know about (personal, friends, etc.).
- legitster 3y agoMaybe this depends on the experience of the therapist then. When my wife was assigned a therapist after having a miscarriage, she got a young person who never had any kids. She almost got nothing out of the experience and it's hard to imagine what she could have.
