How would you like to depend on your therapist?
My thought is that it's perfectly reasonable to struggle with this concept. Therapists are different, and the answer is probably different for each therapy dyad.
I would answer that I depend on my therapist appropriate to his ability to be dependable. It took a while to figure out what that was, to figure out who he was and his strengths and weaknesses. I still adjust my expectations from time to time, sometimes ranting and railing as I do so.
And also of course there are the boundaries of therapy. I can't reasonably depend on my therapist to do anything concrete outside that room.
