Hi ~ It's perfectly NORMAL to feel an attachment to your therapist. I think everyone does - they're just ashamed to admit it. LOL I was seeing a female psychiatrist for over a year -- I saw her every month, and I too always wondered what she was doing, and how busy she was, etc. I hated that she only saw me once a month -- I wanted to go more often just so I could talk to her. She was an older woman and she really understood me. Who knows, maybe I saw her as a "mother" figure since my own mother paid very little if any attention to me. LOL
So don't feel ashamed or embarrassed about this. We all attach to therapists that we share our lives with. They know everything about us, so why wouldn't we?? That attachment will wear off -- don't worry. Take care of yourself and God bless. Hugs, Lee
