If you start therapy in hopes that therapist will become your lover, object of your sexual desire, your friend or your parent, your therapy will be unsuccessful as therapists aren’t obligated and in fact aren’t allowed to play any of those roles. Too many people complain about therapists being monsters because they answered “no” to sexual or romantic propositions made by a client. Wrong premise to begin with

If you want therapy to work, you got to put some work in. Therapist can’t fix it all for you.

If you go to therapy just because you are lonely, it won’t work as therapist cant replace the entire world for you
