As long as the client displays the need to see the therapist the therapist can then begin to depend on the client. It's messed up but it has happened. The healer becomes the person in need of healing. Sort of like a role reversal. Hope this helps.

They can become emessed with the client as well as
(this is the codependant part) rely on their clients reliance on them. They may keep the client "sick" because of their need to be needed.

Instead of helping, they become part of the problem in such a way as to maybe start justifying why the abuser uses.
