But therapy is not supposed to be exactly like real life no? We pay them to be attuned and to put their needs aside for that one hour... I personally take what I see in therapy and try to get more of that in my real life to deepen relationships and value my own needs. Maybe I’m agreeing with what you are saying in a different way, that I know that this is not how real life is and that this is their job and that the point is I will learn to figure out how to develop enough of their attunement and validation for myself and with others that I won’t need therapy anymore.
