Do you think my new T is trying to rescue me? Why is he agreeing to become my mentor when the trauma therapy is over?
I remember when months ago I was so sad because I have nobody to praise me like a parent because all those important people are dead now. I remember telling him that even when I get my degree I have nobody to talk about life choices, etc. I remember the really sad look in his eyes and he looked away.
I know he has a tendency to go beyond all means for a client. He tells me of when he went too far, etc. I know he wanted to save his sister when she was in an institution, when his brother jumped off a bridge, etc.
He he trying to do that with me? Is that why he is going beyond what is normal for a T? Should I be worried? Do you think he feels that good about me to want to be my mentor after therapy. Does he really care?
Last session when I was telling about my old T, saying it felt good to be special at the time. Then my T said that I was special, during this hour we spend together. I am not sure if he knew what I meant about being too special.
Then a little later he said that I am a client that T's love to have, that I am a very good client.
Is this a good thing?
