I see my T. tomorrow and plan to tell her that I feel closer to her now than I have in the past 5 years. This is the first time I have been to her on a regular basis due to the death of my mom who was not very nurturing and had a prescription drug/alcohol dependence.
How do T's help clients move past feelings for them? Can you? While I love the feeling of closeness, I don't want to always have it and WANT to go see her. I want to move on and only need her the next time I need advice. I told her I don't like WANTing to come and she wrote back that I could hate her but it wouldn't help the theraputic process. (her smiley face)
My T. and I almost act like friends exchanging stories about our girls and she has said I'm one of the few she doesn't mind texting.
Just curious how all of this will play out. I feel like I think about her and our upcoming conversations too much and want to focus more on my family. How will she help?
