It's meaningful to me to be able to share with my T, to have someone in my life like that. I can share with my close friends, but not everything. For me, maybe it's more important to share with my T because I didn't share with my Mom. I'm not afraid to talk to my T. I need this experience of loving her and having it be okay. There's a lot of good that comes from therapy!  Do you agree? |
I like how therapy can be so deep emotionally, and I can't seem to do that yet with friends in my life without being smothering/clingy. The mom thing is so huge for me. I need to have that special older female that I can share with and have emotional intimacy with. We can talk about anything now, and it's safe. I know exactly what you mean about loving her and it being okay. She is not going anywhere. She is not going to hurt me either.
