Hi, everyone,
Those of you interested in psychology might also be interested in a discussion on Psycho-Babble Administration of hypothetical posters and their expectations of me:

Don't take this the wrong way Dr Bob, but I too would rather fly under the radar. In fact, I get uncomfortable when you speak directly to me or answer my posts, although it has been a while since i have been here.
My reason is if you were to directly engage me, I might have to think of you as a real person and that would put pressure on how you feel etc and I would feel a sense of responsibility I just can't handle now. Does that make sense. My own p-doc who does my therapy it has taken three years of therapy for me to feel ok with knowing personal things about him. My level of distrust made it impossible for me not to think he too would let me down. So I need space from even you so you can' t let me know. I am not saying you would or wouldn't just that is how I need to roll.
I am not trying to be uncivil just honest to a question asked.

That's interesting because I just love that Dr. Bob is a real person. I really enjoy learning more about him and getting to know him.
Interestingly, I don't really care one way or another about who my pdoc is. I think I love her too, because she has taken care of me for so many years, but I'm not as attached to her as I am to Dr. Bob.
Heck, I don't even think I am as attached to my own father as I am to Dr. Bob!
Weird eh?

No Deneb, a wise person told me that people are in our lives for a reason and when that reason is not longer needed or applicable then the person can drift out of your life. For whatever reason, you connect to Dr Bob in a way that seems to help you. I would not question it nor let anyone else make you feel bad about it.
This is maybe a bad example but in some of my darkest days, I watched a tv series over and over again. Sometimes I would watch the series for hours on end. I was bothered about the time I spent but my p-doc said not to worry that when whatever it was helping me to sort out was sorted I would no longer watch. It went on for months and suddenly I no longer needed it. I will if I feel bad or down, I will watch an episode and in stantly feel better. I think Dr Bob is your tv series. Go with it because it may or may not be a permanent thing. It is ok either way.
