i did a dumbass thing... i mentioned to her in an email about my T, and how i was resentful that he was off enjoying his weekend... and what i got back was a request to know about this attachment i had.. and how it seemed more than doctor patient..

I think she was just concerned. For me, I don't really talk to people about my therapy as they wouldn't understand, and it is way too complicated to have to explain to them about our relationship and closeness and bond and trust, etc. It doesn't mean I don't share other important parts of myself with those people, though.

I think working toward presenting oneself to others in a way that is consistent with one's true self can be a worthy goal. I need to do this better. The "how to do this" can be worked on in therapy. Can you let your friend know more of you without having to talk about your therapy?
