Thanks, Jersey.
I think you’re right about the countertransference. I’m not totally sure how I feel about it. I guess right now my biggest fear is that it will fade even though I still need the extra help and he’ll just get frustrated and give up on me. This level of contact just doesn’t seem sustainable.
