Dr Thomas Lewis in "A General Theory of Love" says that building dependence on one's therapist is a desirable thing. He says, "A parent who rejects a child's desire to depend raises a fragile person." I think that is the case with me. Maybe to 'fix' things I need to spend years in a dependent and loving relationship with my therapist, to strengthen those neural connections, so they become part of who I am, so that I can connect better with people, and have more fulfilling relationships.
Perhaps I will hang in there for a few more sessions and perhaps guide things in this direction and see what transpires.
