Perhaps re-reading The Little Prince might help?  |
Thanks Perna! Funny- I kinda ran from everyone "willy-nilly" before therapy also. I even ran from her "Willy nilly" for quite a while. And then I fell in "love" with her (If you haven't seen my many postings in the "romantic feelings for my therapist" sub forum) If I was going to continue therapy with her , I might be able to answer it better...thing is , she's a phd student and is graduating in less than 3 months
So, it's kinda like she's asking what i want out of therapy in the future , after she's gone (which btw, opens a whole different can of worms...because I don't want to see another therapist...not right away anyway. I'll need time to grieve the loss of someone who is one of the most special people I have ever known) So yea, maybe if I was going to continue with her , I'd be able to answer better. But thank you , I can relate to a whole lot of what you wrote!
