I do have a strong attachment to my therapist. I understand this.
I think about her often. I comfort myself by writing nice letters to her. ( I never send them. I just enjoy writing them.) A lot of times it is like a second grader who thinks the world of their teacher. Maybe more intense.
I don't think there is really anything to explore about this subject. Infants develop attachments to their caregivers. In the same way patients develop attachments to their therapist. I get it.
I just struggle with this cause I am only able to see her once a week. Like what am I supposed to do with the other 6 days and 23 hours? All kidding aside. I really struggle with this.
I just want to do this for her. Not because I expect anything in return or want to gain a secondary advantage. I just want to do it because it is a nice thing to do. Of course she would decline. It makes me feel awful that I have nothing to offer her.
