I appreciate everyone's comments and feedback. I guess that what I am struggling with most is that
1. I thought that therapy would reduce this overwhelming need that I feel for some kind of parental or mentoring figure.
2. I feel like my therapist treats me somewhat punitively in regard to my expression of this need (whether through my voicing of dependency related issues, or acting them out in less direct ways).
So, it is really becoming an issue of not only my extreme frustration with the need I feel but also with my therapist's response to it.
I don't know if it is worth trying to confront him about my perception of these issues or if possibly it is time to stop seeing him --- forever --- for a period of time ???
I am just very confused, frustrated...
