I would like to go against the grain here and say that I feel it is unfair to ask such a question of your therapist. When you look at the therapist-client relationship, it is a working relationship and generally does not go further than that. Plus, they are being paid for their services.

To ask if you could keep in touch after the working relationship ends, free of charge, is to expect something completely unrealistic. 99.9% of the time, the answer will be no. Imagine if therapists agreed to stay in touch with every client that they stopped seeing, they would have a lot on their plate!

There is a clear pattern of you looking for something more in your therapist-client relationships, or with other professionals like your pharmacist. You are fighting a losing battle here, these professionals cannot be what you want them to be. And it is unfair to them to expect that.

I would encourage you to try and find friends elsewhere, who are not in a working relationship with you, and to keep your professional relationships where they should be - professional and nothing more. Otherwise you will continue to feel hurt.
