You know what feels so weird, too? Therapy feels artificial. Therapists give you unconditional and undivided attention, warmth, and care during the 50-minute meeting. Aside from an infant-mother relationship, no other relationship mimics such attunement. Therapy is a set-up and a trap. It sets up the patient to feel attached to and dependent on the therapist. After all, who doesn't like such one-way, undivided, and non-judgmental attention, warmth, and understanding from another person? But when the patient becomes attached to the therapist - because who doesn't want such attention(?) - the patient is seen as neurotic, pathological, or having unresolved childhood issues. I think that even a perfectly healthy person would grow attached in such a relational set-up.
