2 Years Later, Still Not Over Therapist

Posted by LostGirl on November 30, 2003, at 21:41:01

I had a very intense therapy experience with someone for 3 years. It was mostly wonderful, we had an incredible connection. Then it fell apart. There are lots of things about it and my feelings toward him and the experience that I still don't understand, though I've read a lot. I see someone else now, which was because one parent was ill and dying, then I had a lot of responsibility for the other, then she died. So this second experience was more superficial, but dealing with serious present day stuff. The other one dealt with a lot of childhood and internal stuff and was twice a week.
Anyway, all the stuff posted here about transference, and people's individual experiences with their therapists have been very helpful in my ongoing attempts to understand those three years and my unresolved feelings since. And that stuff about the Perfect Therapy Patient Club, man I've thought and felt all those things.
Thanks for being so open, everyone.
