I find this forum really bizarre the way people relate to their Ts. I have always had strictly professional therapist, no emails or calls out of hours, I know nothing of their lives, nor do I really care. I have never felt especially connected to any of them really. Some I have taken more away from than others, but they have all had something to contribute to my healing. I've never had a problem with them going on holidays or missing appointments etc. They are only human and have their own lives to worry about, which is none of my business. I see them to treat me and that is it, the rest of the time it is up to me cope with the skills I have learned.
