Okay, here's the companion thread to the one above.
What happens when a patient doesn't have any special feelings towards a therapist?
I recognize that my therapist is very smart and very skillful. I also know that he has the best of intentions towards me. He would like me to have an easier, happier life.
However, I never want to call him between sessions no matter how awful I feel. I never look to him for comfort. I like him but I never really look forward to sessions although for some strange reason I feel like I need them. And I most certainly (not even in my fantasies) would never want any sort of relationship with him outside of therapy.
I don't know but the more I read on this board and the more I think about my own therapy the more I think that I'm just not built for therapy. I'm just defective in that way.
