None. Any issues I have had have been to do with me and not T. That is why I am in therapy in first place! I could never be mad at T; she seems so perfect.

Same. I've been seeing my psychiatrist (who does my psychotherapy) for 10 years. I don't really feel much of an personal bond or attachment with her. I see her as any other doctor, really. I don't care what she thinks of me or how she is feeling or whatever. She is there to treat my mental illness, that's all. I think that's why we haven't had a 'rupture'.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I definitely have an attachment to my T. I care about him as an individual. I value his opinions and we are definitely bonded. But it is a secure attachment, meaning I don't fear his abandonment or disapproval. I don't have transference issues that cause me to confuse what is going on with him with what went on in my past or cause me to "need" him to fill some missing aspect of my life. Those things are quite common for many in therapy and I'm sure are painful and confusing and pretty frightening I would imagine. They are just problems I am thankful I haven't had to wind my way through in my own therapy relationship.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
