Thanks for the responses. They are really helpful. I guess I still get confused sometimes about the nature of the therapeutic relationship. Any other person in my life (friend, coworker, even a hairdresser) might have shared their story earlier on. I understand my T and I are not friends, but I think I crave more connectedness with him and don’t know how to get it or make it last. If anyone has a recipe for that, I’d love to hear it.
