So then she called bc she doesn't do "therapy via texting." She said she understands my frustrations with my progress and think this transition period and the attachment are important to discuss and deal with. She told me to "respect the process" and the work i've done and even to respect her, by going to talk abt it on Monday. That kinda touched a nerve, bc I would never want to do something to disrespect her or slight her in anyway (which I'm pretty certain she knows with me being such a people-pleaser). But I don't want to go! I was so gung-ho abt not going on monday, but then she brought up this respect piece. And the her being "sad" abt me not going. Ugh, stupid attachment! And then she was saying she hasn't seen me fully commit to giving up the personal gains I get from the behaviors, which really sucks bc I've been trying so freakin' hard. $%^%#$%^*&^T%$$%#%@!!&
It sounds like your* little kid* is struggling with the attachment. I don't know how you feel about him/her but it sounds like both of you need closure. Does that make sense?
