I can see the truth in that statement.

If your therapist is the safe place that you went to, to heal and learn what the boundaries are for a healthy relationship, I feel that you (I) will have to learn a stand alone strength.

If your therapist has been the example of a healthy and safe relationship, I would imagine that there is an attachment to them or that space they represent. I know for me that is true.

I’m still working on holding that line of setting boundaries and feeling strength in doing it. It scares me right now to think of that place not being there to help encourage me, learn and find strength.

When I’m ready, I’m sure I will feel a type of healthy detachment to go out and hold those boundaries, in strength, in my own.

That is my feeling or reply to your statement.

Thank you for the discussion invitation! It made me think about it!
