For me, a psychotherapist is simply a fellow human being with the education to teach and repair minds. I have never felt that they were, or needed to be, a surrogate for someone else in my life.

Although, my psychotherapist might appear to me to be acting as a parent, sibling, friend, or whatever I need at that moment, I understand that these are not really professional roles that the therapist is taking on (unless done so purposely as a therapeutic tool), but, rather, those that might represent where I am emotionally. I don't like the idea that the therapist is somehow constructing a formal role for either of us other than what is the doctor-patient relationship.
