recall the other thread i posted about difference between client and T.

well, this leads me to ask: because T becomes so important to many people, is it possible that they can have an influence over us?

perhaps not directly like a T saying "SW -- you need to become a white supremist like me" but indirectly because as clients we:

(a) want our T's to like us
(b) maybe confused about lots of things
(c) are vulnerable to feelings and not sure about what we feel or want in our lives yet
(d) DO NOT want to be different or are afraid that T can't understand

or is this just a ridiculous thought?

for example: Velcro003 choose one on my scenarios....

velcro003 said she is confused about relationships. velcro003's T is gay. Is it possible that T's influence confuses velcro003 more or drives velcro003 in a certain direction because of the dynamics of the T-client relationship.

Or would that be a bad T? ..... and is it natural that velcro003 would question based on her relationship with T, but the truth would eventually be found???

**what if you are like me and totally clueless in the world, young, without any connections, and still determining but trying to figure everything out. could it be worse than if you were already mature and had a career and family and etc etc.?

i want to find the "real me" -- but not become a "me" based on the influence of someone i really like and respect and want to like me.

do you guys get what I am asking?
