I don't want to completely hijack the thread, but I was in this forum to ask a related question. For those of you for whom it took many years to form a connection with your therapist, were the first few years any help? Someone told me if I don't have a connection with my therapist I won't get any benefit from therapy.

I have never developed any sort of connection with my therapists. In fact, I think if I did, I would probably stop going. I am creeped out by the idea.
