I am sure a few that don't somehow slip through the system but why would you go into this profession if you didn't care because the training is so hard and intense. Sometimes being attached to your t can be your biggest learning in therapy because it highlights your behaviours in your relationships outside of the room and can be standing in front of a mirror. Sometimes we don't like what we see on the other side unfortunately but if we are there to start changing aspects of ourselves learning about the attachment and the relationship is the best way to start. Sounds like you are painfully aware of this already.  |
What you wrote definitely makes sense, I actually think the same. But this makes me think about how much T (and the relationship) means to me and how "dependent" I've become even though I don't show it. I never contact T for fear of negative reactions because I couldn't take the rejection. So I force myself to think I'm just a number and have to leave her alone. I guess I'm trying to protect myself. But sometimes I feel these strict thoughts damage the relationship and my perception of T a little, making me assume she wouldn't listen or would be annoyed even if I was in real need, without even trying! I'd like to process this one day - if I don't speak, T can't help me. Who knows.
