>It sounds as though we are basically in agreement about the importance of the therapeutic relationship, and the potential it has for really transforming how we live and experience our lives.
Yes, on this we do agree. And the rest of what you have to say is hits home for me too.
>frequently go through times of feeling that our therapists do not meet our needs as much as we would like.
And I would say, in my view, that this gets exacerbated and probably needlessly lengthens and complicates therapy if we approach it in terms of having a relationship with the therapist. We do have a relationship with the T, but it is a limited one, confined as it were - so again, why the angst and turmoil over the relationship with that particular T. Something is occurring out of that confinement that probably shouldn't be is all I can figure.
