I am curious about why I feel the way I do and wonder if others feel like they have a "crush" on their T's. It reminds me of the others in my past, from movie stars to real people. I have moments I'll never forget but I'm not sure why I do this and if it's totally abnormal or not.
yay for progress! I don't think it's abnormal or stupid at all, rainbow.

I understand this... i don't alway look at my therapist for similar reasons, i'm sure. i don't wanna bring it up or talk about it with her. blech.

Sounds like your therapist IS an amazing person. nothing wrong with parts or all of you wanting to be like her. good therapists can model so many good things for us that we somehow never saw or got while we grew up. I too wanna be like my therapist when I grow up.

hugs to you, rainbow.

Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
