Maybe there are two different questions:
Do therapist "really" care about their clients as individuals, not "just" because they are clients? (I would argue, yes...)
Why don't you want your therapist to care about you, as an individual? Is it safer to just be one of her clients? If so, why? Do those really tight boundaries help contain your own feelings about her?
I don't know, I'm just asking. As far as tight boundaries, I guess I'm OK with sort of center of the road. This might be my age, or the fact that I work in a business where we have rules in a very similar fashion, so I often have to make judgements from the other side about what the intent of something is. Complicated, isn't it?
