Hey Flutterby,
My t is my t. Well, he is also my p-doc but he wants me to see him as the father/mother i never really had. But it is hard.
I am getting closer to trusting him more than even my husband. Because my DH has his own issues in life and my therapist is there just for me when we are in session.
Now I have a tendency to compartmentalize people, and events, so when I am not at his office I don't always think about him. But this is part of my issue too so it is not a good thing according to him.
Anyway, he is my t and he is there for me. That is nice. Therapy is still hard though. Attachments are an issue for me anyway, so I don't work too hard at letting t in yet. But I am doing some better in that respect at least according to him.
I understand your position. It is hard to define it. What they are to us. But one day I realized that he is there for me until he isn't and that is ok.
He listens to me better than anyone else in life. so that is nice. He also has a high opinion of me which is nice.
