> Thank you and I know you are right. I promise to be true to my feelings. Sometimes I feel my relationship with her is larger than life AND my imagined relationship with her is better than the one that exists within the walls of her office.
I've said that to my therapist so often that I believe he has come to agree with me. There's the relationship with him, then there's the relationship with him that exists solely in my mind. There's the real him, and there's the him that exists in my mind.
But he wants me to bring all those relationships to the therapy room, and let him in on them. He says the him in my mind is often a lot wiser than the him in person. I'm pretty sure he's teasing me.
