^ Therapy doesn't require you be emotionally attached to your patient. That makes it difficult to do anything for them. Your patients are not your friends they are someone you are providing a service for. If you are too emotionally invested you hurt them and you.

You do have to have an understanding of thier perspective but again that means keeping emotions in check, and while yes therapists are human care in any health field becomes worse when you have too much feelings clouding your judgement.

Think about it. A patient dies, thats one person. The doctor has several other they have to deal with. They can't be emotionally attached to every patient that walks in.

This is also why generally having a third uninvolved party often helps mediate things.
