So this is a bit hard for me to explain, but lately I cannot seem to figure out whether I feel like I need my T so much (2-3 sessions a week) as a result of feeling overly attached to her (which is painful in itself and deserves support but how much support is no longer helpful, right?) or whether I truly need her help for my ED related issues that I originally sought her expertise for. In the past year or so, I have become increasingly dependent and it has been very painful and makes me feel very ashamed because as someone with a disability, I have learned to navigate many challenges on my own that most people don't know about. My T also tells me I'm "stronger than I think I am" which feels very invalidating when I ask her for support and she has no idea what I've been through. I'm not sure if I'm making any sense but I don't know how to figure out whether I would still want or need her support if I wasn't so attached because I've never really wanted support from those who I'm not overly attached to. I am actually very independent in my day to day life. I guess I was just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and how they overcame or how their therapist responded.
