I've just been trying to figure out why my T said to me last session he was glad at the time he was detached from me. He told me he couldn't tell that to anyone else. I know he didn't mean it to hurt me. It didn't sink in at the time until I started processing the session. I won't see him until April 10 so I'm just stewing on it.

I asked my Pdoc about it and he said it was good. He has to be emotionally detached from me to not get pulled into my problems. He has to be emotionally detached in order to help me. He said but he has to be theraputically attached in order for the counseling to work. Theraputic attachment he can still care about me without being emotionally attached.

I'm just trying to get a handle on this until I see T and ask for more explanation.
