therapists are like pets

Posted by alexandra_k on July 11, 2005, at 19:49:10

I've been thinking about the 'therapists are like washing machines' idea which suggests interchangability...

And I guess the opposite to that is that they are completely unique.

But pets are unique. Oh yes they are. But when one moves on... Well... The best cure can be a new pet. I mean, you always remember what is special about your old pet. Their idiosyncracies. Their uniqueness. They are never completely replacable. But a new pet fills that gap that the old pet left. Old uniqueness is replaced with new uniqueness and after a while you get attached to the new one too.

The role... Their role in your life is what is indespensible.

Only... I guess ultimately we want other people in our life to come to fill the role that we once needed a therapist to fill.

Therapists are like pets I say :-)
