People change friendships all the time.... I mean, some friendships are meant to last lifelong, and others are meant just for the time being, while it serves a need for one or both people. When a friendship no longer fulfills a need, it usually dissolves.

I cannot tell you how many ppl I've lost a closeness to over the years. I don't take it personally though, since it's just the nature of life. People go with whomever they can relate to the most at the time, and may drop you eventually as a friend, but it's not personal. Like I find that most married ppl want to hang out with other married couples and not their single friends. It's only natural because they can relate better.

I would be cautious about feeling like you need to be "close" with your therapist, like a friend would. Attachment in that way is a bit... well perhaps not good for you as it is a professional relationship only. So if you view it as a professional relationship rather than an experience where you need to bond with the therapist, that may be best. Your therapist will never replace you, just don't think of your therapist as you would a friend. ((((hugs))))
