Part of my problem has been being so fascinated by the client-therapist relationship itself, so I can't help being introspective about just about everything. It's so interesting! I think sometimes that my sappy inner voice turns people off, though. I basically poured my heart out in the above post. The sentimental thoughts are just me. And since therapy it's much easier for me to be just me. It's a complicated relationship and definitely not black and white. I'm probably the only client on the planet who has ever felt something akin to maternal love for their therapist.

I'm glad you're finding your way, Rainbow.
