Do you have attachment issues? Can you "hold onto" your T during the week? Can you tell your T how you feel? How long have you been seeing this therapist?
It's normal to like therapy and your T but the goal is to feel better in your "real life". I have been struggling with doing that for a long time. It's a combination of having a secure relationship with my T, and pursuing interests that give me the " high" that I used to get only from therapy.

Thanks rainbow! I do have attachment issues, ambivalent attachment. I think about T through out the rest of the week esp when I feel that I need her.
Sometimes the therapy hangover isn't always a bad feeling, at times I feel positive and cared for.
I don't know if I would tell T these feelings, we have probably touched on it previously as she has said things like, you can think of me and imagine I'm with you and that that is ok.
I've been seeing T now for just over a year now.
I think the hangover could be a bit of exhaustion of trying to fight off Ts care and positive relationship, as well as my own efforts to control feelings. Maybe if I just let it all be instead of fighting it it will feel good and I won't be so exhausted?
