I don't want to keep it the same necessarily. I just don't think I'm EVER going to stop wanting my T to be more than she is to me. I think radical acceptance is where I am now. I do a lot of good work with my T so I have to accept never totally seeing her as totally the professional she is. I've made progress in separating and becoming my own person so maybe that's as good as it gets. Personality disorders are difficult to overcome. I am doing my best. If it's not good enough, it's time to stop struggling and accept myself. That's kind of what I meant.

I've always obsessed over therapy! Maybe it's just become a way of life for me. My T doesn't call it obsession, rather early attachment problems. She doesn't judge me at all. Therapy has helped me learn a great deal about myself and has helped me get through difficult times in my life. It has helped greatly to have someone I can say anything to. T is treating me for anxiety also. Yes, the main focus is building up my Self. That has been a slow process but is happening. I'm satisfied with my T. I have a lot going on in my life. I agree often it's easier to focus on therapy. I like the experience and the connection. I always have.
