T was horrified last week that I waited three weeks to see her in a crisis rather than ring her so she could fit me in earlier. She couldn't believe I didn't ring her and said that I like to punish myself unnecessarily
I beg to differ, I am trying to manage on my own because I know that t will nont be around forever.
I suppose what i am tring to ask is, do we have to become dependant for our therapy to progress?
I am finding it hard to be close to t, when I know whse pulls all the strings and that one day she could pull all of them from under me and I would be left alone again and to face everything alone.
She has wanted me to become attached from the start, encouraging me to ring, hugging me, telling me she missed me during the week and that she was thinking about me. T is my last ts supervisor and she must know that I became too attached to T1 and probably told her to terminate me.
Maybe i am over thinking all of this but i wonder why T wants me to attach so much.
Hey,Mona
It sounds like maybe you are perhaps afraid to surrender to your feelings ( depending upon your T)....and I can understand why. But having said that it sounds like this T cares about you ( although telling you that she missed you during the week seems a little much)
I wish that my T was a little warmer...but who knows, it might freak me out!
You are very well spoken and give wonderful advice to so many...I hope that you can trust your T and let your guard down a bit....you will be fine
