I don't know much theory. But maybe experience and thought count?

Maybe seeing our therapist in these ways is part of moving through a parent / child relationship. Some of us need to re-enact that relationship and have it come out better the second time around than it did the first time.

My T has been kind to me with few exceptions. I have acted out all sorts of bad feelings and he has not wavered in his "affection" for me. My parents did waver. When I did not meet their expectations, I was rejected. My T doesn't do that.

So, yes, maybe for some it is helpful to go through a time of seeing the T as omnipotent.

For what it's worth.
