Deneb, that sounds like a powerful session. The connection your pdoc made makes a lot of sense to me (since I'm often in the same boat with my therapist), but it might take time for you to feel it emotionally. Just give yourself that time and therapy will work for you.
I think it's interesting the different kinds of transference that emerge from the conflicts on the board and Dr. Bob's participation (or lack thereof)in them. When I read his replies, I feel a good deal less than positive and respectful of his personality and style (sorry if that's uncivil!)
But I love and need Babble, so I take it as water under the bridge. I am glad you were able to take your feelings about Dr. Bob into therapy and make such a powerful connection.
