I read this from the Irvin Yalom thread and was wondering what exactly this means and how it works in therapy?

"Demonstrate your willingness to your client to enter into a deeply intimate relationship with them. “Therapists must show the way to patients by personal modeling.”

And I do not mean Im wondering if it means something sexual because thats not what im thinking. I lack non-sexual deeply intimate relationships in my life. I dont know how to allow it to happen. Im horrible at sharing that part of myself. I get uncomfortable and naturally keep things on the surface. Can T be a "stand in" for this kind of relationship to get you comfortable and teach you how to have that in "real life" I know I need help with it but I dont undersand....its kinda scary to let that happen. Im not sure what im getting at here. Just rambling.....
