I dunno. Long thread.
I 'spect there's lotsmotives.
T's goto make money to support themselves, no worry. I also know many T's who would do it for free, but that doesn't always work so well for a variety of reasons.
My T's. Well old T does it cuz she feels it is a gift she has and can use to help others. As for me as a client, I struggled terribly w/the unconditional positive regard aspect. I think she did honestly care for me as a person.
W/my new T, she has some diff motivations. I think she likes the money sure, but also I think she cares bout kids, and I think the primary reason she took me on is to help my IRL kids. I thinka huge motivator for my current T, is that she just finds all this stuff generally interesting. I think she enjoys the challenge. She is quite intellectual.
I think the 'fit' btwn T and client is hugely important.
I think there are many times the fit is not right and it best to move on.
I also beleive there are T's out there that for asst reasons are just no good.
I think there are T's out there that are just BAD.
The while gamut.
You goto go into this T thing with your eyes open.
Which is why I like boards like this cuz we can talk about how we perceive our T's and get some input.
Like having another person in the room almost. Cuz T is too private and can go wrong.
Goto run.
This my opinion.
