Glad to hear it has been helpful for you. That makes me feel hopeful. The whole therapy process still can feel very strange for me even after a year. I tend to be analytical and evidence-based so sometimes I wonder what the heck we are doing. Part of me is very skeptical and another part is very interested, thus the whole push/pull dynamic. I do like my T although sometimes I feel like I’m under spell. I guess maybe that’s what attachment is.
