a T cant trap you into a hospital without a lot of jumping thru legal hoops. if you are paranoid about that, then maybe initially dont talk about the things you're afraid will trigger a T into thinking you need to be hospitalized. also it might be good just to say all of this up front to a potential T. ask questions about their involuntary hospitalization procedures... as far as getting attached it might happen and it might not. therapy isnt for everyone... so maybe finding other alternatives could help. one doesnt have to see a therapist to recover, kinda like an alcoholic doesnt have to be in AA in order to get sober. there are many, many ways and avenues you could take.
