Jazzy, thank you.
I've been thinking over the past few days about bringing up the fear of abandonment issue to both my pdoc and my T. I think I'm going to do it. It will be a big step for me because I have never delved into our relationships beyond, "Thank you, I'm so glad you're here for me and I appreciate it." They have sometimes said more, and all around we know that these relationships are special and really work, but a lot is unspoken. I have never addressed deeper issues like transference or these kinds of fears or anything. It will mean looking them right into the eyes and confessing...so it will be take a deep breath, deep breath, and jump (into the present)!
Do we have the same husband? :)
Thanks again.
