> 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)!

I guess remembering that your p-doc and T have heard it all sometimes helps, still scary to say things, but better to say those nice things, than the bad stuff. I"m sure they will be touched by your sincerity. You are worthy of whatever you need from them, and I'm confident they'll feel the same way.
Good that we have wonderful, supportive husbands at home!
Keep us posted!
