This is good progress for me after two years of therapy, at first I needed my t1 way too much but now I feel ready to maybe quit therapy or even have a long break at least!
I know a lot of you here don't like my t or don't agree with her behaviour (self disclosure, talking alot, encouraging me to be straight to make sure I was gay) but she has worked for me.
Lately however, I feel as though t needs me to come see her. She always tells me to ring her if I need her( I don't), she wants me to go to the same doctor as her, she told me to go see one of her pharmacy friends and she wants to help find me the right t college to attend next year, she offered to ring them and recommend me personally. This is all very nice and this time last year, I would have been delighted with this but now I am at a different stage and I need to do things myself to feel empowered, to take control of my own life!
I know she is trying to help but sometimes I feel like she treats me like her child or something, she always keeps me an extra 40 mins because she wants to talk afterwards- I really love t but she is not my mother and I need to tell her I can sort things out on my own! I got really sad just writing that!
