Hi (((((((((((Beth))))))))))))))))

I love my T and if we had met outside of therapy, I would love to be friends with him. We share a lot of interests and we share a sense of humor. I like to be around him.

But, I didn't meet him outside of T, and for me, I need him to be my therapist. I treasure the boundaries. He is SUCH a good therapist, and I want to know he is there and available to be my therapist for as long as I need him. I was in a "therapy" relationship before (with the youth minister at my church) that turned into more of a friendship..and then the boundaries were blurred even further and it didn't turn out well for me. So for ME, having T as my T is a gift that I wouldn't trade for anything.

I'm glad it works for you...you seem happy about it. I hope that it continues to be healing for you.
