The stop point is obvious to the individual and the therapist. I'm dealing with someone that prefers to stop rather than actually self-reflection.
There is nothing stopping them from exiting therapy. The therapist may be aware that the person is still a basket case but if they are non-violent they are free to roam.

- naasking 2y ago> The stop point is obvious to the individual and the therapist. It's not at all. There are plenty of stories of people who realized that therapy was just causing them to ruminate on their problems, and that the therapist was just milking them for years before they wised up and walked away. That's not what I call "obvious".
- detourdog 2y agoI think either the therapist or the patient was not devoted to therapy.
- naasking 2y agoNo true Scotsman eh? Classic for a reason!
- detourdog 2y agoConsidering we are discussing a licensed professional I think your argument is weak. Second I allowed for the failure of the therapist in their duty.
- naasking 2y agoThe trustworthiness of a license in a field with a poor replication rate and whose best therapy is at best 50% effective is what's weak.
