I had a session with my therapist this evening and talked with her about my feelings for her. I told her how painful it was to want something that there is no hope I can ever get. It was so embarrassing. She was really great about it, though. When I told her I was thinking about quitting therapy so I could get rid of the feelings, she said the solution was to keep coming and learn to accept the feelings. I told her that would never happen. She just winked, smiled and said "It will. You'll see." For a minute I thought that she didn't understand just how intense my feelings are, but then it was very comforting. She knows me well. She knows what she is doing and I trust her. If she says that it will get better, I'm sure it will. It's funny...I've never had this much confidence in anyone.
