White dove – in case you want to share more, what does it mean for you to experience pre-occupation with your T? what kind of thoughts did you have? To me it also feels like a distraction at times. is that the only reason why you see it as a negative side effect? Did it have any good impact on you?

I know this question wasn't directed at me but I just wanted to share that I have experienced an intense preoccupation with my T at various times throughout my therapy. It seems to ebb and flow but has never really completely gone away since I've been with him. I have had every thought imaginable.(Mainly positive thoughts) I have brought it up on a handful of occasions but never really spoken directly about the thoughts themselves. At times I have thought that perhaps it is a distraction and that I am avoiding something by focusing on my T. Most times after I write or speak about it though I have found some insight into how the feelings for him are actually similar or related to something in my past so it can't be all bad. At times it doesn't feel good in fact it feels terrible but I am trying to see it as part of the work.
