Oh believe me. My therapist is not sleeping on the job. I look at his comments as a statement of commitment to me. And that he has drawn closer to me, like a partner in my healing. Although this awakens my transference with him, I think this reflects my love for him
has matured into more of a Feeling of trust and comfort ...I don't have to Feel as needy with him as i trust he will be there for me. Whatever it means, it feels good.
