So even for those of us who are extremely attached, the issues can be different.
I'm not afraid that I will be too much for my therapist, nor really that he will get sick of me. But I still worry that he will leave (mostly in relation to my getting better). And I worry what I would do if he did leave. Then again, my previous therapist stopped being helpful - maybe it would have been better if she DID leave.
I talk about the relationship in therapy because he has told me that that is what he wants me to do - and because doing that has helped in the past. I guess when we do that I talk about how I'm feeling in reaction to how I think he's feeling. Are there other ways of talking about the relationship?
As for people who have had great lives?? I haven't a clue!
