Clare and Steve discuss this in the context of coaching and supervision. Does dependency only relate to longevity of relationship? Is dependency in fact merely fulfilling some sort of unfulfilled need? A craving? How might exploration of what draws us to be a coach, work with a coach, work with a supervisor, reveal a propensity to become dependent on that draw? Maybe dependency isn’t simply a bad thing but in fact an opportunity to explore unmet needs? Perhaps dependency becomes a negative when coach and client (or coach and supervisor) both get an unfulfilled need (unconsciously) and find themselves trapped in a form of "need meeting game".
