The whole set up of therapy attracts attachement. When in real world would you have anyone attentively listening to you week after week, without their bias getting in the way. People love to be heard, listened to. I do think that not getting attached is unusual. Being understood, being heard is a human need.
Spending a week reading posts in here made me look at therapy differently. I always thought that even in teraphy its two human being talking and thats more important than the therapist figure and me -the patient. Even in my job I am proffesional, have bounderies but ultimately I dont turn into a work robot, its still me. Now, having read so many stories I don't see my therapist as a person like me. I think of her as this distant persona who has been trained to ask questions!
