Protoform, I'm really curious as to what this would look like. It seems like, from reading your posts, you believe that therapists have the ability to control how their clients feel.

Everyone is so individual...so, perhaps a therapist could be cold and professional and that would discourage strong feelings in one client, but be very enticing to another client. It just depends on the person.

I honestly don't see how therapy would work (for me, anyway) if my T was "pretending" to be someone he is not. It's a real relationship, involving two real people. My T has told me that it would be too confusing to have to be different people for different clients...he is just himself.

Anyhow, having said all of that, I really am curious as to what you have in mind.

I'm sorry you are in so much pain
