> I understand the impulse too. Keep trying to reason with yourself. Acting out has never has gotten me what I want. :( For me carrying through the fantasy to the likely actual outcome decreases my desire to misbehave.Yeah. I don’t like the idea of the outcome. But I feel so desperate.
> It sounds like you've been pretty clear about what it is you're looking for from him? Do you think he's able to give it? If not, do you think you can adjust your expectations of him? Lowered expectations have always been my choice of action. I'm too dependent to keep my expectations and lose my therapist.Maybe he really isn’t able to help with this. But then I wonder if there’s any point continuing. I can’t help the father transference. It’s driving me nuts. If he can’t help me deal with it, is there any point in doing therapy with him?
