In reply to Question for Dr. Bob- no right or wrong answer..., posted by sunny10 on April 19, 2005, at 14:03:09
So I'm not Dr. Bob, but my T has told me that he has been in therapy before. He is also open about the fact that he sometimes leans on his wife for emotional support and that she can lean on him.
That being said, I am aware that my T is a human being too. I show him basic human respect and much more (because I really respect the guy as a person) and would apologize if I felt I crossed the line. BUT I do not feel bad for leaning on him. A good therapist can handle the weight of your emotional leaning, and should not require you to meet any of his needs.
