I had a similar conversation with my therapist last week. About whether he was the same person as the therapist in my mind, or a completely barely related person. And if the relationship I have with him in my mind bears any relationship to the relationship that's actually there.
I don't *think* I am angry about it. He didn't create the person I think he is, I did. And I guess that's sort of how therapy works. Though I'm not really clear on how.
I think that therapists really do care about their clients, in a therapist caring for their client sort of way.
I just read Jeffrey Kottler's "THE CLIENT WHO CHANGED ME", and some of the stories were rather lovely.
