I don't really have an issue with the middle two. In fact, when my best friend needed a therapist, I was kind of excited about introducing her and my T. My anxiety was that he would like her BETTER, because she is in fact much cooler and nicer than I am, but not that he just has other clients in general.

I got a little upset the first time I saw a photo of T and his wife on his facebook page (which I creep on, and am a bit ashamed about doing) because she was sitting on his lap in the photo. Because of the whole CSA thing, I am SO NOT a lap-sitter. I mentioned even once to my T that I don't even sit on my husband's lap unless I'm desperate to get . . .well, you know. I'm guessing the whole lap sitting thing doesn't mean the same thing to T's wife that it does to me, but still hated seeing a photo of her on his lap.

I did tell him that I am totally creepy about him. He wanted to know in what way. I told him about wanting to call him EVERY day. He said I cannot call him every day, but I can call him more than I do. So, I said, "It's okay to have creepy thoughts, just not to act on them, got it." He then insisted it wasn't creepy to want to call him every day, it was just a sign I was starved for emotional intimacy. I then puked a little in my mouth over the intimacy word and got really ticked at him.

I also told him about wanting to be friends and being stressed by it. He told me he could picture us being friends down the road and to stop worrying about it. Some folks on the board were a little concerned about how open he was about wanting to be friends also, but I found it enormously helpful and was able to just put those stresses out of my head then and concentrate on therapy. I know that others have had the opposite reaction.
