Hi crushed. I'm sorry it hurts so much. As I remember, you have been doing really well and really dealing with your feelings for your T. I hope the way you are feeling at the moment is just a temporary set back. I have pretty strong feelings for my T as well and it sometimes hurts a lot. I try to remember that the way I feel is born out of what she represents to me - attention, care, consistency and safety, rather than who she is. Fortunately she is 30+ years older than me, so I can quickly remind myself that it is crazy to long for her so much. Is there any kind of reality check you can do? Can you really see you and her as a couple? Is there something she does or says that really annoys you? When you are actually in the room with her do you still feel like this? I find when I'm actually there, the feelings are gone, and she's just my therapist.
Wish I could help.
