I think you are right in descibing it as special. I do feel a little different about my t right now in a good way. I often feel my relationship with her is more down than up - but I also recognize my own dysfunction in wanting to see it that way.
I told my t a few months ago, that the closer I feel towards her, the harder coming to therapy is for me. She said, "that's exactly right." I equate feeling close with feeling rejected so I protect myself around this. It's all so complicated and so difficult to unravel.
Dinah - there is a new therapist to like on TV. On Bravo, the reality show "Bethany getting married?" (who is a trip) goes to therapy with a fairly famous therapist [Dr. Amador - author of many books including 'I'm right, you're wrong, now what?']. Although he is a fairly regular contributor on the "Today Show" and "Good Morning America" he seems slightly awkward having their sessions taped for a TV show ... but I like him a lot. I like his comments and how he thinks.
Dr. Bob - I did not put the book in double quotes because my thought was not about the book - just to give Dinah a frame of referance to who Dr. Amador is in case she has read his books.
