Anne- i think you are right, i need to have a conversation with my T about what is/is not appropriate in regards to texting. At least i will know what that line is.
wotcermuggle- i think thats going to be my opening sentence in my next session with my T, as it just says exactly what i am feeling. Thank You. This emotional stuff is so hard to deal with.
pbutton-I think the openness and honesty is the best way forward.

I don't think it's an either/or, either you depend on the therapist or only on yourself. It will take time, but I'm sure you will eventually be able to find a balance between depending on her and depending on yourself, both at the same time. Depending on her isn't a 'bad' thing, and depending only on yourself I don't think is necessarily a helpful thing. We all need other people, no shame in that. I think it's a matter of balance. You'll get there, baby steps!
