The relationship with T is one-sided. It is all about us..... because it is their job and we pay them.
We don't pay friends, we don't pay partners.
Relationships with friends and partners are two-sided.
We know them and they know us. .... we never really know our Ts.

I do agree with this. It is a professional relationship between a therapist and his/her client. It is no different then the relationship you have with your medical doctor or your hair stylist. From this prospective, the relationship is "real", but it isn't the same as a friendship or a romantic relationship.
