So, I know that one of the strategies that some Ts use is one where the encourage attachment to them and really encourage talking through their issues together. In doing so, it can model how relationships outside of the T room should go.

I am struggling with this ALOT lately. T is great, he is available when I need him, he has been understanding when I bring up issues with how he has mishandled things, he has be patient with me, etc. However, my problem is.. most people aren't as great as T. And T is only great, because it is his job to be great. I know that it doesn't mean he doesn't care for me, but I am saying.. In our T client relationship, he sees my needs and he responds to them.

So, how am I supposed to carry what I am learning from T over to my other relationships, when they aren't as great as T? Does that make sense? It is great I can open up to T, but I don't feel like I have anybody in my life that is near as trustworthy as T.. and I only find him trustworthy b/c he has an obligation of confidentiality.

Does any of this make sense to anybody?
