5) Wishing the therapist was my parent
6) Longing for the therapist whenever I felt upset
7) Feeling like I won the lottery when the therapist emailed
8) Decreased interest in work
9) Feeling like a child who lost their mommy when the therapist went on a vacation
10) Excessively internet researching the therapist
11) Distress seeing other clients
12) Distress if the sessions didn't go perfectly
13) Distress thinking about therapy ending someday

See? Not healthy. Something had to change.
I have had many of these and it scares me also. What in the end made you quit therapy? How did you know to end it? If you could share more it could really help people.
Thanks for this!
