I don't think I need therapy because of therapy. I am very close to my therapist and I have learned from our interactions how to better have a relationship, and how to better communicate with other people. So a big part of my therapy does involve our relationship, but I don't need therapy because of this. Forming a relationship with the T can be a way to heal and accomplish much. The relationship can be motivating and supportive. It can be wonderful, but doesn't create a need in therapy for me. I needed therapy before I went to see a T not because of it. I think if my T were suddenly to die tomorrow (god forbid), I might benefit from going to therapy with someone else to help me grieve. So in this instance, I would be needing therapy because of therapy. But I would tend to see it as needing therapy to help me grieve the loss of someone very close and dear to me.
