i was not even talking about the therapist. i am forever intrigued by what's going on in someone's mind and always curious about the raw unpolished thoughts...
you are right the way the therapeutic relationship is structured is so bizzare. the guilt transference causes to all of us and all it is just such a natural instinct to bond. its so unnatural to be so one sided. with anything and this gives the silent/ non sharing person 'power' because we become vulnerable and they can find the impression of being everything figured out simply by not opening up.
that's so off track.
