I've been in therapy for 12 years..gosh that's embarrassing. I am really attached to my therapist and have been suffering transference the entire time. She has way too much power over my life. I am tired of her having so much power. For example, if I send her an email and it takes a long time for her to respond, it practically sends me over the deep end. I obsessively check it, and I get so angry and feel so rejected. She is very warm and affectionate one minute, but then sets her boundaries the next to remind me of my place. Therapy feels so fake to me. Therapists are taught how to build rapport and make you feel like you are unconditionally loved, but its not real. I have come to believe that therapists are emotional prostitutes. I am disillusioned with therapy. Its all an act on the therapist's part. I came into therapy feeling desperate, and now I can't leave because I will feel even worse. I know I should leave, but I'm afraid it will be just too painful. Help!
