Tabitha, your musings are running along the same lines as mine. And I'm not altogether sure how I'd feel about reaching the separation and individuation stage. (sad smile)
I've never thought of him as perfect. But I have thought of him as magic. Even when I realize he's only magic because I give him the power to work magic on me, I still think he's magic.
I think that maybe I regress a whole lot when I'm not feeling well. And maybe (even probably) when I'm not feeling well again, I'll go back to seeing him the way I need to see him. It'll be interesting to see what happens. I never did go back to seeing my mother as my mother. :( I don't think I'd like that.
I'm guessing that in group, your therapist *does* have the most on point remarks. She is the professional. In fact, she probably looks more perfect just because she's alongside everyone else. Does she seem way more imperfect and off target in individual sessions?
