I am scared of this thread because I don't know what to believe. When I asked my T if she really cared about me or was she playing a role, she said she really cares. I believe her but I also think the concerns raised in this thread are legitimate. T does what she thinks is in my best interests, based on her expertise, not caring. I asked her Tuesday if answering my emails is too much, and she said, no, those rules changed from the past. I don't think it's because she cares; it's probably what she learned about attachment therapy.

I do think each therapy relationship is unique, but so many of us think we're getting something we need from our T, but then something happens to make us think it wasn't real. Then we're devastated. It depends why you're in therapy as to the outcome. Attachment issues are harder to treat. It's hard to know what you're in for when you start therapy. I for sure did not know, and then I got hooked.
