It's all about trust, the transference and attachment formed are essential (imo) for true healing. These therapies have been well researched and found to work otherwise it wouldn't be used.
The Father of psychotherapy, Freud, is quoted to have said that all patients need to fall in love with their therapist... What he meant by that is there needs to be a bond of trust where the patient is truly able to discuss anything and everything in safety.
The therapist is trained and able to handle all emotions, without judgement, listen with care and love but also maintaining boundaries so it truly is a safe relationship.
I hope this helps you to understand the therapeutic relationship a little more, and I wish you well on your healing journey.

The only thing I can remember as to Freud is ,,,, ID / EGO / Super EGO .
As far as * T * goes and being able to open up and tell all >>. heck , that is easy . But ,,,, if he started to feel sorry for me or absorbed any of my pain or hurt in anyway ...?
I would take the notepad and ask him if the couch or chair would be better ,, and then say " So what brings you here " ?
