I have been with my current therapist since 2007, I saw two in 2006, one was 3 visits where it was very obvious we didn't click...and the second one lasted several months until she suggested several times that I should drink wine for my sleep issues instead of the prescription medicine my psychiatrist had prescribed for me. Pdoc said 'get a new one'. I love the one I have now, we have a lot of things in common enough that there feels like a connection. If I had not needed a therapist and met her in some other social situation we might have actually become friends. BUT I totally respect the boundary, and keep that boundary for myself as well.
