At first, it wasn't really that way for me.....an app't every week and I did my homework, sure, but didn't spend tons of time thinking therapy or thinking about T. But then, I wasn't attached yet ..... and wasn't thinking of becoming attached! I was thinking short-term .... then something happened. The something being that I realized I could trust my T with deeper things, that I wanted to work through things I had never thought of working through, that there really was a lot to do - and then I began to be attached. And with the trust, the attachment, the going into deeper, older wounds ..... I began to think of therapy a lot more, to think about my T a lot more, and the time between sessions, waiting for the next one, began to seem like it dragged on out forever and the feeling of need/longing/fear of session all mixed together became much stronger.
So, the short way of saying what I just said the long way is - it's not uncommon or strange to feel the way you do!
