The past few weeks we have continued to explore these intense needs and my battle with them. The thing is, I'm the one battling myself. My therapist is really all about the attachment - he thinks it is necessary to heal and that it will, as Antigua points out, ease off when I'm ready.
I told him that I want to believe that he thinks of me on days that he doesn't see me - like over the weekend. But that felt wrong to want that and very demanding of me. He said he can't believe I still don't assume he does - since he tells me often when he thinks of me.
It all comes down to a basic question, "do I matter?" Especially if I don't do anything for the other person?
Sometimes therapy is unbelievably hard, isn't it?
