All of them at except 'my client' at different times. Sometimes all of them at once.

I’ve been seeing my psychiatrist for almost 25 yrs. At first, I was very afraid, then I fell in love with him, now I love him as a dear friend. I also have a new therapist who I’ve seen twice. I don’t think I’m going to be able to allow myself to trust him enough to really talk to him.

Very much a father figure. With the recognized limitations of the fact that he's really my therapist.

I put "just my therapist." But I'm not crazy about the word "just". I find the therapeutic relationship very useful without any transference. The confidentiality and boundaries make it so that I can talk about things with him (like sex stuff) that I could never in a million years talk about with even the most perfect father or a close friend.
