In a way I think it's the in-session contact that's not healthy.

I think both in and out of session contact can be unhealthy, depending on various factors. My issue is that I'm constantly having feelings of longing, and that's not good. My therapist just perpetuates it, even when he's trying to help. I'm trying not to complain about him too often on here because I'm sure I'm sounding like a broken record most of the time. Patterns...difficult to break.
