That makes sense, thanks for the insight. I’ve had similar concerns in the past and it seems when I stuck with licensed workers (licensed social workers, clinical psychologists, and psychiatrists) they seemed well trained to wall themselves off emotionally from me (refuse to give personal information, refuse to visibly react to things I say, very careful when expressing an opinion, refuses to suggest an interpretation of who I am or who they are). It’s also apparently deeply unprofessional to be unable to avoid enmeshment, including the responsibility of referring a client away from oneself if one notices too much emotional closeness. I’m not saying this to convince you either way but I hope this data is useful to you. Thanks for your vulnerability in talking openly about this.
