I've been reading these posts for a while and was finally going to start a thread about this, to see if anyone else felt the same way. But I thought I better read more first, to see if the topic was already covered. Then I read this thread. Daisy, you described exactly what I was thinking, but you also gave a reason for it, which makes so much sense. I have a lot of friends. But there are times when I just feel so lonely and only want to be with my therapist. And what your T said makes so much sense. I just hadn't thought about it before. It is true that she is the only person I let myself feel nurtured by. And of course that is something I need more than the two hours a week I'm with her. And so it makes sense to be lonely without her.
But now the question is, how do you deal with it? Sometimes the feeling is so strong that I don't want to interact with anyone. I want to stay home and sleep until my next appointment.
