Thank you Dinah :)
It is hard not to feel crazy driving so far just to see a therapist sometimes. It helps to hear that I'm not the only one who has done it! What you said about this therapist being a good fit for me etc is exactly right. There is a special connection that would be hard to create anywhere else because this T was actually my therapist at the time many of the most difficult and most traumatic things happened to me in my childhood/teen years (16-17yo). Our relationship does feel somewhat maternal - transference I'm sure, but at the same time, she has been my therapist on and off since I was 17yo, so it's a neat thing. I'm about to turn 26 now. She obviously knows that I'm driving a good distance and doesnt seem to have a problem with it. I think she understands.
