I'm still working out a lot of this stuff in my head. My T is mostly psychoanalytic/psychodynamic in approach, at least with me so far, although it seems like he will throw at the problem whatever he feels will work best. I don't think he is a purist in his approach, which is fine by me. I already have complicated feelings about him, who doesn't with their T? I find solid boundaries very reassuring in some ways, but keep wanting to push them - hopefully in an OK way. It worries me some, which is why I was poking around the web on the subject of what's OK. I like to try to read up on everything. I never want anything to get like what Sassy has had to deal with. Just posted this link here to get a sense of what people who have been in therapy for a while thought about this view of things. I think I still have a lot more stuff to figure out in my own head before I can move forward. I just like to come here to read how other people deal with all these issues, it's kind of reassuring. - JayJ
