No, I never felt overly dependent with a therapist, and I wonder whether that is good or not. I read a lot about how dependence is important in client-therapist relationship - especially on this forum. I feel like it's a "fault" to have the perspective that I have and it made me think and I wanted to find out more about what people think.
A former friend of mine always got really upset when we talked about dependence on therapists because she thought she will never get out of her dependence with her own therapist. And I always wondered if I have the complete extreme by not wanting dependence and relying on myself as much as possible OR if what I feel about it is somewhere in the middle. And I am just generally interested about this topic, that's all. I meant no harm at all!
