Hello (((MOUSE))). I jsut really wanted to clarify that most therapists get into therapy to CLAIM the lives back somewhat for their patients that have lost their lives to something, abuse, addictions and so forth. Just because your therapist does not touch you in sessions does not mean that they are not on your side fighting for your best interests day to day. Your therapists would have to care for you immensely to hang in there and come up with ideas that help you move forward with your lives on a continual basis. I think therapists getput into a role like a movie that they just are ingrained with ideas and the whole situation takes abot 15 minutes to learn. your therapists have put in years of time to learn how to help you in making the correct day to day decisions. I feel the reason there is so much confusion regarding therapists is because no one really appreciated the time and effort and years spent in helping their clients. Touching clients also leads to confusion for some clients as well in not keeping boundaries in tact. It does not necessarily mean they dont care it is just good practice to leave a client in tact emotionally when they leave or try thebest that they can to help while they have you in their ofice. Therapeutic recovery is not a soap opera it is your life and future, and you and your therapist are working on a very important of recognition that you are a persn that deserves the best in life. Take care and god day everyone. Respect to all of you that are posting here. Soidhonia
