Thanks for understanding All Done. Maybe I should write him a letter. But I have written him a bunch of emails about it, and never really got anywhere in terms of feeling resolved. So, probably I need to just figure out a way to let it go. I've been working on that for a couple of years, now, though, and I'm not sure it's actually possible. At least now, for me.
You are right that I got a lot of what I needed when I was in therapy with him. That's the good part. I wish I could find the same stuff without him. I would have thought that another therapist would provide the same feeling of acceptance, and attention, and interest or whatever it was. But it seems not to automatically happen. Maybe I need to start looking for another therapist again. Although, I just don't think I will. There's no particular reason to think it would work now, when it didn't before.
Oh, bother. I don't know what I'm trying to say, or what I want to do. But thanks for listening, anyway.
