I wouldn't even try to explain it to a friend, unless she had also been in therapy- then she would automatically know, and it becomes almost a bond of sorts. Recently, my husband (perhaps in part because of seeing and feeling changes in me which made our relationship less comfortable) began seeing a woman therapist. He very quickly developed very strong positive feelings about her. Strangely, I am not at all jealous- but glad for him. I know it's going to help him and us.
As for me, I have a much more serious background of abuse than he does, so I have to accept that I am going to have a more disorganized, insecure attachment style in the beginning than he does. It's my deepest wish to have an "earned secure attachment" with my analyst- that''s what I'm working towards with every bit of energy I possess.
