I know those feelings. Sometimes I wonder if the therapeutic model is really 100% optimised for the real people it's designed to treat. Sometimes it feels as though therapy is set up for therapists more than clients, because the job the therapists have is so difficult to do they have to have all those boundaries to protect themselves.

It's really hard to feel attached to someone who is there in a professional capacity. I do think therapists care. I do think there's a genuine relationship, but I don't think that means it's any less painful at times when you feel separation and the time seems so limited.
