At least half of today's session was talking about how this somehow has reactivated my neediness for my therapist. I asked if he'd mind if I wrapped myself around his ankles. I made him promise not to die. Not to force me to see Hector Elizondo. I told him that I've been thinking he's perfect. Or at least perfect for me. While I have never really thought he was perfect.
He responded perfectly, or perfectly for me, with the tolerance and amusement that really calms me.
He's never seen the show, which made it harder to talk on the topic. I promised to bring him a few Dr. Kroger scenes. He was really intrigued by how much this has upset me, and how much Dr. Kroger must have reminded me of him.
I'm trying to remember my favorite Dr. Kroger memories to bring him. The one where he tells Monk he's always been proud of Monk for not having Trudy stuffed is the one that immediately springs to mind. Or the one with the falling garbage bags.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
