Therapists that insert themselves into the social network of their clients as cheerleader-for-hire are cruel and sadistic manipulators. They may not realize it, but they parasitize upon the weak and hate rather than love their clients. This method of care doesn't result in patient independence, it creates an expensive addiction not much better than a chemical one.
People stuck in struggle don't need more shallow affirmations to accept dysfunctional aspects of their lives: they need freedom from bondage. They came to these therapists looking for an expert to bring change to what needs fixing.
Think: We need both the love of a mother and the love of a father. We need a mother's doting and tender counter-conditional love, but we also need the push of expectations and behaviour modelling - both positive and negative discipline to prosper as a person in the world. Any one of these alone is not enough.
We all know too many sons and daughters that live their lives short of their own high potential because of too much of this pseudo-mothering "therapy". Enough is enough. Delusion affirmation is not sufficient psychological treatment.
