Yeah, that's a great point. It would all make a ton of sense then--the messed up boundaries, the reactions she has, my feeling that there has always been some sort of connection between us but not knowing what the heck it's about. Not too long ago she was going away for a couple of weeks and she really went over with me in terms of time because she was so worried about this guy and him using me, etc. She even said she didn't know what was going on with her but she was feeling extremely protective of me. She seemed pretty frazzled around her reaction. She has also said that she and I are alike in alot of ways but when I asked recently if this meant in terms of our sexuality she said that it was our defense mechanisms that are similar. She said something about me reminding her of herself when she was gay too. Maybe this latest foray into my interest in a guy poses yet another difficulty for her in terms of how much she identifies with me. I would imagine this hasn't been easy for her.
> No, weird isn't a word I want to use. Honestly, I wonder whether your therapist identifies very strongly with you and is having a problem with that.
