So, Dr. T made a really good point today in talking about therapy, transference, etc. That in the therapeutic relationship, he really just has to do one thing well for a certain period of time. In terms of listening, being empathetic for time of each session. We were talking in particular about the relationship of a spouse/partner. Where there are many more things that need to be done well there, including things like keeping the living space clean, dealing with finances, intimate relations, possibly parenting, etc. (longer list than that). That most likely, a partner would fall short in some of those areas. And I imagine the same could be said for parents, other relatives, friends, etc. It made me think...
