I don't know but I've had the same fear. I realize that I'm doing some transferrance with my counselor but I'm not entirely sure who he is replacing. I just know that I'm having strong emotions and I'm going to miss going next week.

Also, he mentioned that he does object relations therapy, and so like a dummy I looked that up and it gave step by step instructions of what the counselor is to do and now I'm thinking. . .how can it work if I know the "trick" to it. But I'm just going to trust him and try not to think about it. (hopefully!)

I find that the more I open up and trust him, the more things in my "real' life make sense. When I sent him a copy of my journal that helped a lot, sharing really personal stuff without having to say it. . . helped me to be able to open up and talk about it our next visit.
