For me, therapy has made it easier to deal with relationships. I think I communicate my needs more, try to be attuned to other people's needs and am less tolerant of relationships that are toxic or just not worth it.
I don't think of people who are intellectually rather than emotionally oriented as "unhealthy", however. That seems too strong and broad a judgement, given how many people are like this. My pdoc refers to people who are like this as not being "psychologically minded", which sounds more accurate to me. I think therapy has helped me to communicate better with people who don't necessarily think or respond to things exactly like I do, which I think is important. It's also what helped me to relax a little about some things and establish more boundaries about others- something I've had trouble with in the past. So overall, my relationships have definitely been helped by therapy.
