I wondered why he did it, so I would ask, "Did you say something? Sorry, I didn't catch that." Then he'd stop the weird whispering and hissing. I think it was a compulsion... but he also followed me around everywhere, so that was pretty weird.)

Have you ever fantasized about a friendship?
Not that I can think of. Pretty much all, if not most of my pdocs have been older males, so that would be weird. As far as a friendship with my T...my new one is probably slightly older than me, but she is very helpful in a therapist kind of way, but not in a let's be friends kind of way (I hope that made sense). I don't really know anything about her, when I go to my sessions, I talk, and talk, and talk...
My last one was an older male, but his psychodynamic therapy just wasn't working for me. I work better with some good 'ol CBT, and so I think this will be better.
