I don't think I've felt that way. If I feel deeply attached to my therapist, it'd be very difficult for me to say goodbye, and I'd want to keep them in my life, although it's obviously not possible. My previous therapist I emailed a few times when some big events happened in my life. But she was forever gone when I really think about it, and that makes me sad.

But I do not feel like I need to be the special one for them. They have their own lives and loved ones. All I need is the space they create for me, for my healing and recovery.
