I guess I walked into therapy not looking for someone to fill a need so much as help me get to where I was going. Since my T has done that I don't feel unfulfilled in the relationship. I don't expect him to do or be more than what he is. We've worked together for a long while now though and so we do have an extra layer to our relationship - a kinship on favorite movies and books, that kind of thing. I know a lot about his life. I ask abut things that are going on with him which obviously remains limited in response, but still he's open.
