I often imagine what being their friend would be like. Looking back over my previous therapists I would only like to see one outside of session and not the others. New t absolutely, why because she is fun and vibrant. Ex t had a really good sense of humour, other ts were quiet dry and dull. I would have no interest being their friends but needed an emotional connection from them, an understanding.
It got me thinking of the qaulities I need to be able to make a good connection with my ts. A good sense of humour is a must. I do not like serious ts or ts who have too many boundaries. I guess I like a bold therapist who is willing to take risks and cross some boundaries.
Yet when choosing friends I choose sage people who are not risk takers. It makes no sense but I am interested in hearing about your experiences with this.
