Oh Miss Honeychurch. I don't know what to say to make things better, but please know that I am thinking of you and sending kind wishes your way.
Your post made me think of that show that used to be on TV years ago. I think it was called The Littlest Hobo. It was about a man (or maybe it was a dog?) who had no home, he just wandered from town to town. In each town he would come across someone who needed helping, help them, then leave. Even though it is *us* walking away, not our T's, it still has that same sort of feel to it. I didn't like watching the show that much because I always felt sad when he left the town and his new friends.
*sigh* Therapy is such a paradox.
> Will I get over this? I've been on the verge of tears all afternoon Do I make some proclamation in therapy that I love him? Will that make me feel better?
I don't know the answer to this. Sorry. If it's any consolation, I don't think you're pathetic. I've always loved to read your posts. You have a lovely sense of humour.
In fact, wouldn't it be more pathetic if you *hadn't* formed such a strong attachment to your T? How long has your T been practicing for? If the answer is "many years", I'm sure he must have dealt with this before. Also (and I'm sure part of this is wishful thinking on my part), I kind of think your T *must* be attached to you after you have shared so much. Surely he must be going to miss you too (at least just a tiny tiny bit). In that case, it might be nice to talk about it. Ugh, still don't think I'd be able to though (but then, I'm nowhere close to be being a therapy graduate ;)
