That's what happened to me. It was neither healthy nor therapeutic. Was destructive.

In the the midst of it, I thought T cared. And she probably did in some uncertain way. But in the context of therapy what does that even mean? It is a role playing relationship, a simulation of an actual relationship. Authenticity can never be fully tested.

All these questions about did T care, did T love me… it all seems so perverse now.
