Before I started therapy a few months ago, I had the feeling that all my relationships with caring friends were in my background, kind of shaping my identity, and rooting me, even if I don't see them all often (my family are not supportive figures in my background like this). I also feel that my T has now taken a dominant position in my background. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. Though I feel that it is in some level supportive, I was quite alone in a way as I had never been able to talk about some things with any of my friends, and I think this made me lonely. When I decided to quit my therapy not long ago and had one day of being quit in my mind, I had a sense of loss, but also I got something of myself back, a kind of personal independent strength. I think that perhaps therapy has some drawbacks. Hopefully the benefits outweight the drawbacks?
