The good thing about a therapist-patient relationship is that most of the time the patient is seeking treatment and it makes it so much easier for the therapist because someone who would naturally want to help themselves is at least willing to cooperate. In my brother's case, I see no sort of cooperation whatsoever. The boundaries lie within his head, and he doesn't touch them. You have to move above and beyond all that you believe sometimes, in order to get effective therapy. That is to say, sometimes you have to change your outlook, and change what you believe, even if it's only in therapy. I dont believe in telling anyone the deepest darkest secrets that I bare, but in therapy I had to do that. And I pushed myself to. It's the only way to get "cured" really.
