In reply to Just read an article on dependency on therapist, posted by judy1 on July 17, 2002, at 13:47:17
> and it mentioned- overdependent (when you call constantly), dependent-resistant- never calling or asking for extra help (me, I think fear of abandonment) and the integrated patient who will call in times of crisis and that's it. I was curious what category other people on the board fall into. take care judy
I started calling my therapist all the time at the start of my crisis a few mos. ago. Now that I'm adjusted to my symptoms, I call about once every two weeks -- usually to ask her to do things like talk to my dr. or to complain that I want to kill myself. I actually stop calling her less, though, when I become more suicidal because I don't want to be talked out of it at that time.
I'd say that I've swung all ends of the gamit.
