Hi antigua. Thank you so much for your advice and support. You are so right about the things you said. In fact, I'm going to start a new thread just to report on my therapy session today. It's like after finally broaching the subject about the dreaded 'T' (xference) on Tues with my t, now I feel like I can tell her ANYTHING! And I tried to today. I had so many things to ask her, tell her. I think she's trippin'. She's probably like "what happened to my patient??" lol. Well, she's definitely happy that I am finally trying to express my feelings, but there's plenty other stuff she's not too thrilled with, so our work continues. Continues? It's probably just getting started. Like I said before, though, don't know if you saw, but I went for therapy originally for help getting over my grief for my husband leaving (8 years ago!) Anyway, I'm like so over that now, and I'm ready to go deeper now and address things I had pretty much given up hope on. But I have hope again.
> By not telling her how you feel, you're keeping so much inside, so much that could be helpful to your therapy. Give up that self-discipline! It won't get in the way of therapy, it will be therapy. You will have to give up the fantasy of her, though, and that can be hard.
How come I can't keep my fantasy about my therapist? lol. I guess I'm just hoping it'll fall by the wayside kind of unnoticed as I grow and mature. (o:
Thanks again for your support and for sharing your wisdom.
Sharon
