Inappropriate boundaries in therapy should not be glorified. I hate the way this show ended - everyone accepting multiple boundary transgressions and believing that the ends justified the means. A therapist who does not let a patient lead, who pushes them out of comfort again and again, who puts them at risk for their own selfish needs is an abusive therapist. This would NOT heal people. It would traumatise them. Their loyalty to Masha was trauma bonding, not transcendence. We should not glorify cult leader tactics, they exist in the real world and have done great harm.
