Zoo, did you address this with T? It makes me sick to my stomach to think about having that discussion with T. I don't want to feel attached. The emotional involvement is torture to me....It's like that teenage surge of drama when one little thing happens and the world is falling apart....

Blech. I prefer to be distant and rational....which I guess doesn't really work well in therapy. Double blech.
