I have been feeling so extremely distant from my ex Ts. For those of you who know me, I have had two Ts and terminated with both of them. The first one was quite difficult and the second one was completely painless.
But I have been feeling so far removed away these days. It feels almost like they are all in a dream.
Does it happen to others? I even feel sorry for my first T these days. For the difficult situations I put him in. And my second T - I can't remember my sessions with her though she gave me invaluable support. I can't recollect any thing significant about my sessions, though I remember the general track of the sessions. I can't remember any of her words.
Anybody has experience like this, or possible ideas why it is like that? I don't think I am suffering or trying to block anything

Maybe it's because you're going through a lot of new stuff at the moment. Maybe you're having to focus on the changes in your life and so your feelings and memories about your therapists are taking a back seat to all the new feelings.
And maybe you're also feeling enough better that your therapists aren't as significant to you as they used to be. I hope that's true.
I don't think you need to worry about it. If my experience is anything to go by, you'll be able to find some comfort in the idea of your therapists if you need to.

Yes Tamar, I think what you said is true. Maybe partly because there are lot of other priorities and things to take care of and maybe because I have been feeling better in general, and maybe don't need them as much. Anyway, I also hope the second is true.
Yeah, I don't need to worry about it. In fact I wasn't worrying about it. It is probably even much better this way, since they won't be thinking about me anyway.
