But having a therapist as someone who gives you care and attention and who has confidence and faith in you should help you too. You get to see him caring for you and as you start to internalise that...

But the weird thing about that is then I wonder . . . of course I think. . . he's nice to me because I'm paying him to be nice.

And then there's that part I talked about in another post that I have such a strong attachment to him that sort of weirds me out and almost makes me feel guilty. I'm completely happy with my hubby and so it's not a sexual thing I don't think. . . but it's like I am dying to visit with him again. Yeah, having someone to sit there and listen in on my every word and have really helpful nice and kind things to say. . . it's almost addicting. But it's not like something I think I'll ever get in the "real world." Even with my hubby who is sweet to me, I never know how he'll react to stuff because he has his own problems too.

Does having the counselor affirming you really help? I thought the point of the counseling was to teach you how to get that affirmation out there in the real world or at least look for the right people.

But it does make sense that it feels good to get that from the counselor too.
