> Nice summary...I think that's what my T keeps trying to get me to believe. But then I question her motivation.....is it really true and she's trying to get me to acknowledge it also, or is she trying to get me to acknowledge it and feel it so she can use it (i.e. theoretically it might make me seek similar outside relationships....which, it wouldnt, but I know that's a commonly used technique in therapy).I believe its natural to question the motivations of any relationship, especially a complex one that only exists in one room, but yet is incredibly intimate. I feel that everyone has to come to terms with this in their own way. I doubt that the T is trying to make you believe anything, but rather to try to help you sort out your own feelings about it so you can get through this confusion about what her role is.
> He sounds sweet. You're lucky to have him.He is more than sweet, he is the most amazing man I have ever met in my entire life. A totally mind blowing creation of a human being, an inspiration just being in the room with him. Sigh....
> Wow, thank you for validating that for me. And she is great.

> Thanks for your response!Happy to help. Glad you agree that she is great. Good luck!
