Sunrise thank you so much for your response to my post as well as thanks to everyone else too. It makes me feel better to know that many of you experience the same kind of attachment and love for your therapist as I do. I have always had a hard time getting close to anyone as I am sure many of you have and I find it a little unsettlilng to feel so attached to my therapist. I think that is what is making me feel so uncomfortable about my feelings. The newness of it all in my life expereinces. I don't bond easily and I tend to view myself (or at least did) as very independent...not needing anyone. I find this new dependence new and a little scarey at times but am trying to make the most out of it. Most of the time it does not bother me and I relish in the positive feelings that this relationdhip produces.
