I think he is a great T, so caring, warm, and accepting. We get along great, I don't get frustrated with him or angry either, unlike the old T. I trust him like I do nobody else in this world, I know he has my best interests in mind, instead of his own, and I can tell him anything. It fees incredible to just be the "bare me" with him.
But what is weird, is that I have no anxiety of missing him between session, maybe it is because I am going weekly though. But I don't see him as anyone other than my T, and when I am done with therapy, I think I will be happy to terminate and not be overly attached to leave.
Now I do think he is adorable old man, and I like him very much, but I don't have a desire to have any other kind of relationship with him. When therapy is done, so will our relationship.
It is just so different this time. It is such a relief to have a T like him. If I can be only half as good, I will still be a good T.

I'm so glad that you found the perfect therapist for yourself with everything you're going through with your old one. I just can't get over how cruel he was just before you terminated. He should apologize on his knees if he were a real man. I'm going to read your old posts to get to know who you are and what you went through. Hopefully this will help me to break the love spell. Take care.

Thanks Stella,
He give me something I have never experienced in my life before, unconditional positive regard. It is hard to know what that is until one experiences it. It keeps me strong out of therapy sessions. I don't think about "our relationship" as much, because therapy is about me. Finally someone allows ME to be taken care of and no outside motives.
The honesty he has shown me even when it was so hard for him to do so, but I demanded to know, I guess to trust him fully. But yet it has allowed me to be honest with my feelings even when it is hard to do so.
I don't worry about how I am dressed or how ugly I look when I am weeping, I know he doesn't judge me. I don't even wear makeup, he sees me without all my masks literally and figuratively. But I don't have him on a pedistal either. I guess I found the right T for me.
I wish you luck, I know how hard it is what you are going through.

Thanks Phillipa,
I am not well yet, but I think with this T, I have a chance.
I think you should be Babble's Official Cheerleader!
The unselfish support you offer other's is awesome.
