My relationship is very important with my T. I feel we have a great connection. However, I am having a tough time distinguishing the therapy relationship from a true friendship relationship. I am always hurt when I receive my weekly bill, why would a friend charge me? Or when he forgets significant things about my life, or mixes up details about my life with another client's. Sometimes I just want to help him with his business and tell him to review his notes thoroughly before he sees a client! I do not contact him between sessions, because I use to, and he would not always respond and I would get upset. So now, when he contacts me in between sessions I am so overwhelmed, I cry. It could be over the dumbest thing such as an appointment change. Oh my gosh, he is thinking of me! I feel my T has really helped me with many of my problems, he needs to now help me let go of him and get on with my life without him.
