Because I really like him? Because I'm attached? Because we can still do a lot of good work despite this limitation? Because I can work this out so it isn't a problem? Because I have dealt successfully for almost 2 years without having some basic safeties that others have in therapy, such as confidentiality, so this seems like I might be able to handle it too?

But, yeah, I do see your point--thanks. This may require some discussion with T.

T and I really don't talk that much about our relationship. We do sometimes, and it is fine. We have talked of how close we are--I like basking in that, but sometimes the good feelings are very intense for me to handle. At other times (not often), we have talked about things that haven't worked well. Usually we spend a lot of time working on my feelings about other stuff in my life. I have this worry that if I keep turning the discussion in session to "problems" between me and T, that he will think I don't have anything else left in my life to work on, and so that must mean I don't need to be in therapy anymore. So bye-bye, sunny.
