| Obviously yes.
The counsellor obviously brought up the topic (or else how would they know about the forum). These are vulnerable people and in my opinion the duty of care assumed by the professional covers decision making of the patient in an instance like this. | |

Actually, we don't know how the topic was raised, and it's really not our business. But, if you were my therapist, I would fire you for such a patronizing attitude. No therapist would make such decisions for me. Therapists guide, suggest treament modalities, help patients reframe situations, but patients still have autonomy insofar as decisions are made.
