I doubt any good therapists really think this way. This is a bunch of this woman's counter transference (she apparently thinks she is a victim of her own clients) dressed up to look like professional advice. I wish reputable websites would vet their content more carefully.
All that stuff that good clients are supposed to be and do--well, as a good shrink once said to me, "but that's what you came to get help for!" If clients were collaborative, boundary-respecting, engaged, and healthy, they would not be in the T office. That's like me (an English professor) demanding that my students be perfect writers and thinkers to be in my class. I have a job because they aren't.
