Hi everyone,
I’ve been seeing a therapist at my university health center for the past three months. However, we recently had to terminate due to session limits. Although I didn’t really like/trust her at first, she really earned my trust halfway through the term. Ever since then, I have gotten really attached to her and deeply care about her. During the last session, I told her how I really felt and even admitted that I love her to some extent. She was happy with all the progress I’d made throughout the quarter, and we ended very well.
However, I really miss her a lot. I don’t know how to deal with possibly never seeing her again. I’ve gotten used to talking to her every week, and having her consistently be there for me. Although it’s taken me a long time to trust her, she has become someone that I care about almost more than anyone else other than my family and best friend. I'm worried that she’ll forget me and I feel hurt and almost angry at her, because I know that she’ll never care about me as much as I care about her. I feel like all I have left of her are memories that will eventually fade over time.
How do I deal with these painful feelings about my therapist?
