It's exactly for the above reason (that you stated so eloquently) that my youngest son (almost 20) won't see a therapist though I'm sure he could benefit from having his strange mix of repulsion & duty towards his father resolved. It's the total vulnerability of one in front of a therapist who needs to reveal nothing. He refuses to give control for himself over to another that he knows nothing about & may even dislike if he did know them.
