I think it is hard for us to guess what he intended by that statement, possibly he intended something a bit different to how it sounded? I doubt he intended his statement to be equated with the idea that 'therapists aren't genuine'.

I think my relationship with my T is different to others due to the intensity, due to the absolute honesty that I try to have, due to the fact that I share private things that I don't always tell other people. My relationships with people outside therapy all have elements of this, but not to the same degree. I think that my relationships with other people are changing as a result of my therapy. To me my relationship with my T is 100% real.
