hey deli, just had to quickly write -
I really take issue with "too dependent". I can understand a client believing this is true of them, but I think it's strange for T to say it. I said this many times, particularly earlier on in therapy. And T's response was always "Well, what is 'too dependent'?" or "What is too attached?" It was really helpful to clear up my own perceptions about it. Because what I believed I needed to act and be like was someone who didn't need therapy, whereas the reality is we do NEED our T's and we we need to DEPEND on them for our healing.

If your T can't handle that, then I suspect this is his "stuff" and not yours Deli.
Hope you're okay
