Thanks, sittingatwatersedge. We do have a very positive, close relationship and I know that in my heart. I would not quit at this time, but I do strongly feel an urge to withdraw and create some distance. I did see him yesterday outside of therapy, and he sat next to me at our meeting. We interacted fine. I am a master at compartmentalization, though, so have not had trouble separating his roles. (He has sometimes commented that this is interesting, as he does not separate his multiple roles for me so much. He feels he is one person, while I divide him into 3. ) I may cancel the therapy session next week--doesn't mean forever. This would give me some additional time to process and also demonstrate to him that I am not overly dependent. I have been going every other week since January, except for the last few sessions, and I can go back to every other week and show I am not a needy leech. I'm also doing well now--another reason to go back to less frequent support.
