I think if itīs possible as a client to accept that most of the caring is fake and that the T has no personal connection to you, itīs easier to stand therapy. As Iīm very lonely therapy becomes another dimension of loneliness as itīs a fake relationship. I have no solution to how to relate to that.

I hadn't heard the expression "benevolent manipulation" before, I think it's a useful
expression for how some therapists operate. I saw a female therapist who was considerably older than me, but was new to the profession. Although I think she meant well, her technique felt clunky and fake to me
She did help me in some ways but in others not...thinking of you
