I think relationships with therapists depend upon the client and the therapist. I believe there can be some therapists that touch your thoughts and see you, like no others. I think they are a gift and some cannot be let go as easily as others. That's my opinion anyway. I will never forget some and what they have said, and they become a part of my heart. When they are not in our life anymore, I think these special therapists are in your soul. cf

> One other thing, I have never been attached to any of my therapists. There was one I had along the way that I really liked and who I believe I might have worked really well with, but I'm good at respecting boundaries. I think I've always been aware that the nature of a relationship of a therapist is a fee based swinging door dependent on what he or she thinks your problems are. The last therapist I saw told me I didn't need a therapist, but just needed a good friend that I could talk to. He said that I was the most well functioning client that he's had and that I was pretty much wasting my money.
