I am very committed to my therapy so I often think about what has happened in therapy and work on issues during the week which obviously involves thinking about the therapist to a degree but I don't think of our "relationship" so much. My therapist has important skills that are very helpful for me. I feel like I am attached to the therapy, but not so much to her as such. I trust her to do her job and to be present for me within the therapeutic hour. I trust that space and time is available for me to do my therapy thing. I do actively process past sessions (I record them) and think about and plan for the upcoming session. But, I don't feel "attached" to the therapist. There isn't any thing I want from her that she isn't already doing. (Like touch or contact between sessions. We don't do those and I don't want those). Our relationship is very professional.
Sometimes I think SHE wants more, like she seems to want to comfort me at times or to take time to ground at the end of session before going out into the world. She seems to stall a bit for time sometimes. (I am a "it's 3 0'clock, it's time for me to go now" and get up an go kind of person).
But yeah.
Nah.
