I have to know my T is a regular person.
Otherwise if she were having an off day, or not understanding etc. Then it would be ALL my fault cuz she would be perfect, and so it couldn't be her fault.
Also, I think in therapy we learn about interpersonal interactions in a safe place.
If your T is on a pedestal, you can't really have the real interactions that can be so helpful.
And its just plain reality and truth and honest.
My T is honest to me bout how SHE feels sometimes, and that is very important to me.
But yes, it does have its pitfalls, exactly as Dinah said.
But I wouldn't want it any other way.
Take care,
Sorry bout your "dad'. :-(
