I posted on this forum a lot when I first started seeing my T and can relate to the push / pull of therapy, abandonment / attachment issues.
A few years down the line, yes there are still hic-cups, but not the relentless, powerful feelings I initially had. So I agree, this forum may be representative of some people, to talk about these specific difficulties, but not necessarily representative of all in therapy.
For me the work has been in building my resilience, changing my perspective in relation to T and I don't think I could have cut corners here and avoided the really tough times with T, it was learning to tolerate those feelings, that have allowed me to get through them.
