i don't quite understand my attachment to my therapist. isn't this more accurately described as dependence? and what exactly am i dependent on her for? you would never know by looking at or talking to me that i have this "problem" missing my therapist. i talk to her about it, but i would NEVER tell anyone else how much i long for her when she is gone. at my last appt i asked for her socks (thanks to the poster that made me think of this) and she wouldn't give them to me! (can you believe that?) she said her feet were too cold. she offered me a stuff animal (i would never!) and the blanket she uses to stay warm. i opted for some goofy music instead. it's ok but i should've taken the blanket. i knew the minute i said no i was going to be sorry. i really do ok in her absence but i get sick of thinking about her so much. it's such a dorky thing, it seems, to be my age and capable of all the things i am, and to be missing this person more than i've EVER missed another person. i've read more than once now that falling in love with your therp means it's working, or something like that. i hope it's true. i also hope the intensity becomes less or i will have to sabatoge my therapy in order to obtain forever therapy.
