That's a good answer, cynical or not. And you're right, one person can't meet all or needs. That's why I have my T--she's the warm, fuzzy, supportive, loving, etc. type, and the relationship is everything and she does help me sort this out.
I totally realize that I'm re-enacting my relationship with my parents by having both of these people treat me. The point is that I can't seem to get to the root of these issues with my female T, and that's why I've turned to a male. But it's a repetition with him too as the father figure (just as my T is the mother figure) and I know he must see it, but chooses to not address it, which further fuels the transference!
Complicated, I know. I always make things more difficult than they should be.
Thanks again,
antigua
