I am not sure I would call it a soulmate my my long term therapist and I definitely had a lot more than a professional relationship. We crossed almost all the boundaries (except for sexual). We were always able to keep the two relationships seperate. When I was in her office it was all about therapy. When we saw each other outside of therapy, we never discussed any of my therapy issues. We made it work. I have no doubt were she still alive we would have been on each others lives well after therapy.
