Actually, a therapist is really someone *who knows you* not someone that you know. That's the whole point. It's not a balanced relationship. On the client's side is a desire to be better and willingness to pay for help the other side is desire to help with an objective perspective in exchange for payment, no entanglement. Not friendship where you share equally and there's no money involved.
