Ended up sending him this, too. He's probably so sick of me right now...and not going to respond on principle or something. The more likely option is that he's just been too busy to read them.

I gave this one a new subject: "Just one more thing (said in Columbo voice)"
"Sorry for another one. But I've been doing some reading on attachment to therapists and the inner child (Attachment to Therapist Archives - Integrative Psycotherapy) and things are resonating with me. Obviously, it's the child part of me who is (metaphorically) clinging on to your pant leg at the end of a session like, "No, don't go, 'Daddy'!" And wondering if you still exist while you're, say, at work. Admitting those emotions is pretty difficult and embarrassing because I'm 40, not 4. And of course you're not my dad. But I think it's a pretty big step that I AM admitting that, right? That I'm showing that vulnerability? Because maybe that means I'm ready to move forward with working on my attachment/transference.

I had some more revelations about the transference/attachment from the adult part of me, particularly regarding the repetition of patterns with you--and the impression I get of how you view me. But I think that part is better discussed in session (if H's OK with it). I just would have had great difficulty admitting to some of the stuff about the clingy child part in person, so that's why I put them here instead--hope that's OK.

Thanks,
