How do you guys deal with your therapist wanting you to depend MORE (vs. less which is often talked about here) ?
My therapist has some pretty clear boundaries but lately I feel like she is encouraging me to depend more on her....for instance she told me that she wants me to take care of something that still exists between my ex and myself, she told me that she wants to handle it for me but she just can't...for ethical reasons. But the fact that she is expressing how much she cares tells me that she wants me to be more dependant upon her...to lean on her,so to speak.
