This is a great view of what happens from the prospective of the therapist. It explains different stages that a client goes through and how what the T does affects the client.

I hope this helps some of you as much as it helped me understand therapy and my T and what they go through. :)

Thanks for sharing this!!!! I am only part way through it but it has put some of my thoughts into words and made me realize the why's of the T.'s actions and it has given me ways to see if my T. is doing it right with me.

It is all there! This has to be the best thing I have read that explains how the theraputic realtionship evolves. Plus how the therapist has to control their personal feelings and they all have them. It is what they do with them that is important.
I am amazed on how much a therapist has to do. There is so much to it. I think I understand boundries now, and why they need to be.
It is also interesting that T's have to constantly think about us and how to help us, but yet keep their needs out of the room. It must be hard to be a T because their clients are the one who gets all the attention. So it makes sense why they need to lead rich lives, because they are not getting the personal interaction that THEY need on their job. I just keep reading this article over and over and still see something that I have missed!

Now that I know what my T does under the surface, I see it isn't a real personal relationship. Personal relatioships don't work the same. I think it would be hard being a T. I think you would meet a lot of people you would like and want a personal relationship, but you can't. If they acted like a T , in a personal relationship, it is almost dishonest, or deceitful in a way. I think if you tried to have a personal relationship after therapy, you would expect 100% acceptance and support. Then you would of course be let down, because in real life nobody can give you that. Maybe that is why therapy is under an hour. It must be exhausting work to always give support! lol Plus if you are let down by the therapist, it could "undo" the work you did with them, and maybe make you regress.
