Ah... Social skills....
I have trouble there too. Have spouts of withdrawing and not returning phone calls etc. Just kind of disappearing off the face of the earth. And then spouts of getting a bit too close. Saying more than I probably should etc.Its hard.
And I think it takes a bit of time to make headway on that kind of thing.Sometimes I find it hard about the therapy too...
But then everybody has things they like to do away from their friends.I think... It doesn't matter so much being dependent short term. I mean, if you are going to your t to help you deal with interpersonal stuff that comes up then she might be helping you learn the very skills that are going to enable you to be more self-sufficient and less dependent on your therapist in the long run.
I remember bringing a lot of relationship stuff to my t...
But I think she helped me deal with it.
See some of the push / pull that was going on.
Starting to figure out when that was happening.
Starting to act more balanced despite how I felt.Dependence is hard...
But then if they are helping
I guess its pretty understandable to feel a little dependent for a time...
