I think they know.
I see my friend's two year old look at her, search her face, watch her expression. He wants to know where she is at all times. She is his domaine, his to explore, his world. Our T's can become that to us in certain phases.
When it began to bug me, I told my T that it felt like too much, that he was there in my head all the time, but he didn't seem to think it was a bad thing. He seemed to think, and I hesitate to ever guess what he really thinks which is why I say he "seemed to think", that it was part of the attachment thing, and part of me integrating the new ways of being he was helping me to learn.
It's embarrassing but I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of. And I sure don't think it's crazy, though I do agree it felt crazy at times. I talked about it.
It passed.
Whether your T is Jewish or not, it's nice to know about the Jewish holidays, what they mean, how they are celebrated. There are lots of Jews around and knowing about the religion is respectful!
I think what I said to my T when I first broached the subject was something like "I'm uncomfortable because I think about you a lot. It's as though you are always present in my mind."
Hard, yup.
