I'm so pleased you shared that! I've read, and experienced, that successful, healing, growth-filled psychotherapy requires some dependency. We rely on caring people with perspective to compassionately witness our pain, support us and re-teach us how to live successfully, how to be happier. It's not something that can be taught in a sterile environment I don't think.

I don't think your answers were stupid- they just show where you are at with it, and I'm a bit sorry your T didn't say something more affirming, but... that's T for you.

The whole thing about the dependency is that as you gain from therapy, it diminishes naturally, until you're ready to do without it. No need to force anything or worry about it, which I know, can be easier said than done!
