Maybe I don't understand the therapy relationship fully. I have had somewhat limited relationship with my T. I have only had 10 - 15 sessions over the span of two years. And most of my relationship with him was through emails.
I always knew it was a temporary one. And I always felt he kind of encourages me all the time to take things on my own without depending on him or anybody. Even when I am feeling very down, he encourages me to go on my own without relying on others for support. Maybe that is the experience I had in my mind when I said.
> I don't agree, I'm afraid. The relationship between therapist and client *is* real (I am a trainee T and client too), just completely different from any other that we experience in life. Dinah and her T obviously have a great relationship - with deep understanding on both sides - which suits them both. Good Ts *do* care; that's why they are so special. R
