Your post is touching, sweet and sad at the same time. I bet your therapist would be touched by what you wrote. It is very much like a love affair - nothing matches the intensity of the beginning but if you are lucky, you evolve into a relationship based on shared experiences and respect for each other. And I'm not just talking about a romantic love affair. Most moms will tell you about their intense attachment and need to be near their newborns. But this changes, eases, deepens.
But I understand the missing part. I've said it at times - I miss needing to need my therapist. And poof! here it is again, that intense need. (which of course, I then wish was gone.)
There is just nothing like the therapy relationship when it goes that deep. I think this feelings is the true definition of bittersweet.
Is something triggering these feelings more right now?
