Thanks, Mair, for the detailed response from someone who's been there. I guess I do understand that there could be pitfalls. I *never* would want to go to someone connected with my therapist. The pdoc and psychologist that are loosely affiliated with him were awful, and I don't trust his taste in colleagues at all. But even without that, I do see your point about spending all session talking one about the other.
I guess I just get frustrated sometimes when I bring up an issue like abandonment fears, and get the same answer I've gotten before, from a CBT standpoint, that hasn't really proved helpful in the past. But our relationship is great and I've come so far with him in other issues, and still feel that I have things I can productively work on with him. And of course, he's terrific at supportive therapy.
But I also know that a lot of this is coming from fears of intimacy.
I really do appreciate your insight as someone who's been there.
