In reply to Does your Therapist understand how important they, posted by daisym on September 1, 2004, at 20:17:56
Hi Daisy,
I don't think it's a strange question.
My therapist does understand how important she is to me. I have trouble letting anyone get close to me and it's an issue that's tough to work on because that closeness includes my therapist. When I just sit and stare at her and apologize for being a therapy failure, she reminds me that she isn't going anywhere and won't abandon me.
I think what you and your therapist talked about will make the relationship stronger. You weren't questioning his professionalism, you just needed assurance of his compassion. Nothing wrong with that.
