I’ll be returning to the state I live in soon but that means seeing my therapist again. I went into the holidays kind of fragile because of a jealousy situation on my part.

My last session before the holidays I saw my t. But, he ran a bit late with his patient before me and I heard them laughing. When they walked out it was clear that my t and this patient have a really warm relationship. Kashi even said his parting catchphrase to this guy. I don’t know why i thought it was something he only said to me. I feel stupid. During session I didn’t bring it up. After all t didn’t do anything wrong.
Leaving session I stopped in the ladies room. So when I was exiting the building t was letting in the next patient again they were clearly fond of each other.

I feel stupid for ever feeling special in therapy. I am one of many. Not sure where I am going with this post. Not sure how much I am confusing therapy pain with family of origin issues. Just in pain and so very tired of hurting my whole life.
i can relate to this. i treasure all the moments that make it seem like the relationship is special and unique and that we are not just another appointment. anything that means me feel like its just two people who like each other.
try to think about the relationship you have with others. does feeling connected and close to one person take anything away of what you have with somone else?
Thanks for this!
