I had a good month last month and made lots of progress, she suggested we see each other once a fortnight, I felt like my heart had dropped out through my arse. Things have gone downhill since then. Last session consisted of me sitting in silence gritting my teeth and not being able to look her in the eye. I detest this feeling so much, I want to quit, but then I'll never see her again, but then I'm angry with her and I want her to miss me. I should probably discuss this with her, but it won't change how I feel about her. All of these irrational and needy thoughts are making me very angry with myself, it makes me feel pathetic.
Hi ZP -

Over time, discussing these feelings can make the needs grow smaller and smaller. Is once a fortnight less or more than before? Less?

I know it's difficult. In my opinion, "falling in love" with your therapist makes the therapy better....with the type of therapist who works with transference.

I don't have any advice, I just really feel for you. These things really have nothing to do with romance.
