Therapists provide a continuous platform for children to discuss their problems, unlike family or friends who may dismiss these issues. However, some therapists might unknowingly foster treatment dependency by prolonging therapy unnecessarily. The story of a girl who had been in therapy since age six due to her parents' divorce showcases how therapy can create a dependency mindset. In some cases, therapy can shift from addressing genuine issues to creating new problems, such as preparing for college as a result of prolonged therapy.
