Some of you may be familiar with my posts. I don't post too often but I do like to check in once in a while. I've been working with my therapist for three years now, well it will be three years next month. I like my therapist. Sometimes she pisses me off ,sometimes she lets me down , sometimes I wonder what in the world am I doing?? But she knows me, she is very intuitive and I have a strong attachment to her. So here is what I'm questioning: what am I doing in therapy ? Do I see any substantial progress in our work? After reading the thread about attachment and transference in psychodynamic therapy (which is what my therapist practices) is it more harmful than good? I am attached to her but I'm past the impulsive wanting to email her every day thing, she's not always on my mind during my waking hours. But I AM attached to her and can't imagine not seeing her. I know, something that I need to bring up in session but I'm wondering if any of you experience this uncertainty with a therapist that is not new to you, if you feel so uncertain about where you are at in therapy?
