Hi guys,
I am SO HAPPY I found this board because I need some help dealing with what I have been feeling. I started therapy a few weeks ago for the first time, and I think my therapist is warm and wonderful--although I am plagued that she might not be sincere -- I guess I feel weird paying someone to listen to my problems -- it just feels odd and like emotional prostitution on the therapist's part. How to deal with this feeling?Also, I am kind of obsessed with her even though I would never tell her -- I have intellectualized why: I w ant her to be my mom, I want her to hug me, etc--I have a firm grasp on boundaries though.
I googled her and discovered thru old newspaper articles that her daughter died about 5 years ago, and I am having a tough time telling her my problems because I feel so bad about what happened to her.
I am terrified to run into her around town. How do I act? Do I say hi?
I feel like I talk too much in sessions.
How am I supposed to act in sessions? Is it ok if I am all over the place? I went in with one prob, but now have a very situational prob that needs attention.
Is it ok to just shift gears and focus on that?Thanks guys
