This is a brilliant article, thanks the sharing. I do agree with it. My thread title does use the words 'therapeutic relationship' because it was the easiest way to name the whole area of topics. it's not a relationship as such, if anything 'a professional relationship' but what i want to discuss is exactly what the article mentions, my preoccupation with therapy and therapist that has never been encouraged.
It is very easy to form an attachment to someone who is kind and who gives you undivided attention. it's like a drug. i started off wanting to sort my life out and now all i want from therapy is her attention and approval. something has clearly gone wrong and i either quit or talk about it... this is what this post is about...
i dont know how to bring it up.
