I honestly don't see this as an active factor in my therapy. We interact pretty much very naturally. I don't see my therapist as encouraging or discouraging anything in regards to him because my therapy really is about him; my therapy is about me. So, whatever he does in regards to working with me is simply with my well-being and healing in mind. What he does isn't designed to foster or discourage attachment or dependency, it is designed to be supportive and effective in my therapy.
