yes - what an excellent emoticon, soliaree!!

treehouse - i remember when pdoc started being loving towards me, and i completely panicked. to be honest, i was worried that he was crossing ethical boundaries. but in hindsight, i can just say that i don't know what love is without having boundaries broken, so i was probably just conflating the two. he's remained the same person i could always depend on.

i know it is difficult, but try to stick it out. you can tell T that his positive regard is too much for you to cope with, that you need things to go slower. i don't really deal with my ptsd-stuff directly with pdoc, but sometimes we do talk about it (i'll share some memories that are attacking me again). those are the times that it's really difficult to sit with his constant acceptance of me.
