Well it depends what you in therapy for.

I am not in therapy to meet emotional needs at all but rather for professional help with specific issues. I don't crave any special connection with t, but I want professional help

I am in a very very satisfying relationship and am the happiest I've ever been but it doesn't mean everything else would never resurface.

I still have to deal with finances or my toxic father or missing my daughter who lives too far or me always procrastinating and I also wan to discuss my fiancée's rather bizarre family and I feel guilty as I feel very judgmental ( they are trashy although he isn't and it is something I feel arrogant about and am afraid it would show in my comments etc). Actually one of the things pertaining to my relationship is me worrying something bad going to happen to him. I am always stressed he will get ill or get in to accident and I drive myself crazy with worries! That's actually is going to be my topic of next therapy session.

Some people are in therapy so they can learn strategies of managing every day life. My fiancée did CBT for years due to his OCD and Tourettes. He needed someone to teach him techniques and he had been using them since. He doesn't need it now but his therapy is unrelated if he is in a happy relationship or not.

I personally do not believe therapy can ( or should)ever meet ones emotional needs, the ones that we meet in our jobs, families, friends or romantic partners. I think therapy could help us to find and maintain that satisfaction in real life. That's just my take on it
