I've never really had that problem... Then again I have AvPD traits and I don't seek much attention from other people other than my husband. I actually don't like my T's personality very much and probably wouldn't care for hanging out with her outside of therapy if given the chance. But she helps as a T because she teaches mindfulness and focusing on being in the present and not the past like I have been stuck in. I have had many different Ts throughout the years too and I never really got attached to any of them except 1 of them who I saw for a year and a half. He helped me a lot with trauma so I had to be comfortable with him. Other than that, I haven't cared that much about my therapists. I have a hard time caring for most people though.
