I think it would be a fascinating thing to do and to learn about. And I would enjoy being in a profession where I could actually help people.
But I am absolutely awful with people skills in person. Really awful. Not only have I also almost always been distant from others (a sociable alien apparently took over my body in tenth and twelth grades), but I've been distant for a reason. I have an absolute talent for alienating people, sending the wrong nonverbal signals, and putting my foot in my mouth. :)
It's a terrible irony isn't it? The most likely thing to help you feel comfortable with intimacy and interdependence is the same therapy that overwhelms you with its demands for intimacy and dependency.
