Rhi, I definitely get the push-pull and the fighting of dependency. I have a session this morning and I'm trying to figure out a way to not look at her as the 'monster'. LIke your t, mine has been great and supportive, but it's still a struggle.

For me it's a subject we talk about a lot. Although that's easier said than done. It's a catch-22. I can only talk about not trusting her when I trust her!!

She tells me it's a basic human need to have close relationships, to depend on others. Unfortunately depending on others is something I've been fighting my whole life.

The funny thing is that being self-sufficient does have it's benefits, but I'm starting to see that I do have a need to feel safe and secure with others, and my t has been great with that.

Please talk more with your t, and please take care
