I said yes because it's a humongus world and I'm sure that almost anything is possible.

For me though, it wouldn't work. It didn't work, in fact, with t1 and t2. I hated t1 from the first word out his mouth, and t2 I could not relate to or open up to. I walked out on 1st session with t1 and never went back, and t2 I saw for less than 6 months.


L said one time that 'This wouldn't work if we didn't like each other.' My healing (gradual though it has been, I am the first to admit!) has happened because of and within the therapeutic relationship. So for me, no. I don't think therapy would be effective if I didn't like the t.

Is there another poll on the other side of this - can therapy still be effective if you like the t too much?
