I think in a lot of cases someone entering therapy has no other social or family support system. Their T is all they have, which is better than nobody at all, but for me therapy has taught me how rich and fullfilling life can be with a connections with other people, because of the relationship I developed with my T .
I think if I didn't have therapy, I would still be isolated. I agree people need more than their therapist to make them happy. In fact nobody can make you happy, it is something only you can do for yourself.
But if all you have is your therapist for your support, that is okay, in the beginning, but eventually your T will help you broaden your support system. This is my experience anyways.
