> > I’m angry because when I told him that I want to feel close to him his response was to remind me that he can only see me for an hour a week. Actually I’m furious about that. I wanted him to ask me about it, or say it was OK or something. We talked about the therapeutic relationship constantly for about five weeks and I’m perfectly willing to work on my difficulties with it, but I really wanted him to tell me that it was OK or normal or understandable or acceptable or something like that.

> Strange, this reminds me of something that just happened. I asked Dr. Bob if he minds that I love him and he said, "It's fine." I'm glad he thinks it's fine. What if he had said, "It makes me extremely uncomfortable?" I think I would have been crushed. I understand your need to have your T tell you that it's acceptable to want to be close to him.

I’m glad he said it’s fine! He’s a great guy, isn’t he?
Thanks for understanding.
