I have no doubt that there are therapists who get into an unhealthy "helper" role with clients. But my experience with my current T has been great in that respect. She's modeled healthy caring for me-- she has an ability to remain open and empathetic, but without "fixing" or taking on my emotions. Someday I hope to be able to do the same with others. She has taught me everything I know about remaining connected without going into codependent relating patterns.
