I was in a somewhat similar situation with a prior T. My feelings for her, the crippling dependency that developed, the longing… I took it all as purely about my own "issues". Took me a long time to realize that what was happening had everything to do with her behavior, her body language and other non-verbal cues, the way she was lavishing attention on me, the setup of therapy, the over-the-top intimacy of her tiny office which put us in close proximity.

I also have had few people in my life who get me, and this T seemed to get me more than anyone ever. Was intoxicating like a powerful drug. But how genuine was it? And to what end?

I dont have any tips and don't like giving advice, but I would suggest that you are not the problem. You are reacting in a natural way to what is happening. I wish I had never started the whole process. I see attachment in therapy as russian roulette.

Best of luck.
Thanks for this!
